At the Sitka Fine Arts Camp art teaches self-worth and a deep sense of community.
The Sitka Fine Arts Camp was founded in 1973 to provide isolated Alaskan communities with little or no youth arts programs exposure and training in the arts. Because of remoteness and low population density, Alaskan youth are at a severe disadvantage in access to high quality arts. For the majority of our students, SFAC continues to be the only opportunity they have in the State to work with and learn from professional artists. Building from its original mission, SFAC has become a nationally acclaimed program providing opportunities for students to study the arts across a wide range of classes and disciplines with national leaders in arts education. We serve approximately 1,000 students annually from Alaska and throughout the world.

I used to think SFAC was a special event in the middle of the summer - a reward after a grueling school year. But I've begun to see it as more of a fuel to last me all year long. SFAC motivates me to create and connect with others. It is a place where I am allowed to be confident in my abilities and learn by leaps and bounds at the same time.
