OUR MISSION

To Cultivate Global Connections through the Arts

Who We Are

Alaska World Arts is a meeting place for worldwide artists and audiences of all ages to share culture and ideas with Alaskans and the rest of the world through a variety of art forms reminding all of us of our capacity for love and generosity.
During COVID-19, we offer virtual performances, workshops, classes, films, and panel discussions brought to the comfort of your home by artists from Alaska and around the world. Thank you for being a part of our 2020 Festival and Together for the Holidays.

About the Director

Long-time Alaska resident Sally Oberstein has worked as a performer in dance, music, and theater. She studied and taught art, worked as a professional musician and recording artist, and is a published novelist. She has organized special events across America including the Alaska’s Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival and Salmonfest.

In 1997, Sally founded Generous Adventures, a fundraising organization through which she has organized thousands of travel experiences and personally led 30+ cultural, ​educational, and environmental tours on six continents. Sally has traveled to over 100 countries and raised funds for 100+ worldwide nonprofit ​organizations.
Today, Sally writes fiction and stage plays, directs community theater, leads worldwide tours, and produces Alaska World Arts events. She has a quirky, however effective management style and is intensely passionate about illuminating affinity in world cultures.
