Celebration 2008 (June 5-7)

I wanted to post information about Celebration this year to ensure word gets out. Celebration will be held from June 5-7, 2008 in Juneau and the theme is: Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian: Dancing on the Land. Everyone is invited to attend. Additional information about Celebration can be found here.

Also of importance, a number of due dates are approaching for applications, so please ensure that you submit your applications soon if you haven’t already. Applications with approaching due dates include those for dance groups (March 22), the Juried Art Show and Competition (March 31), the Native Artist Market (March 31), and for the Toddler Regalia Review (May 2). Applications can be found by clicking on the above links.

Lastly, SHI is looking for volunteers. Celebration is a collaborative effort between SHI staff and a team of volunteers. The work begins months before the event and many people return year after year to help out. This event could not happen without the hundreds of people who generously donate their time to the festival. Thank you volunteers! To volunteer for Celebration, please see information posted here.

In closing, thank you very much and we are all looking forward to a great Celebration.
