ART THE VOTE ON ELECTION NIGHT!


On November 5th, from 6-9pm, GHF is co-hosting a stress-free art night at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center (JACC) in Juneau. This election night event is a non-partisan event, intended as an alternative to politics! The event is free and open to the public.


"Everyone, regardless of their political views is welcome to stop and join us for some easy and fun activities," said GHF Executive Director Neilgháa Koogéi Taija Revels. "This is a family friendly unity event for all ages."

Several hands-on activities will be available including coloring and opportunities for participants to make keychains and friendship bracelets. Light snacks will be served.
