Exhibits & Events at Sheldon Jackson Museum

The Friends of Sheldon Jackson Museum and Sheldon Jackson Museum are pleased to announce the call for applications for the Spring Share Your Culture / Share Your Research Speaker Series lineup. The spring speaker series is sponsored by the Friends of Sheldon Jackson Museum and includes a combination of in-person and virtual events that will take place February through April 2026.

Spring speakers are selected from a pool of applicants who apply to share a 50-60 minute Zoom presentation. This could include storytelling, dance, recipes or a cooking demonstration, an artist demonstration, a talk on your art form, culture or relevant subject, or a talk on research for publications, higher education, professional interest or work for a tribe, village, or Native corporation. Local applicants are invited to share their presentation on Zoom and simultaneously in-person at the museum. Recordings are posted to the Friends of Sheldon Jackson Museum Youtube channel.

Find the application on our Artist Opportunities page. For questions about the application or series, email Jacqueline.fernandez-hamberg@alaska.gov or call 907-747-8981.

Admission is waived during the in-person Spring speaker series public programs and the Friends of Sheldon Jackson Museum Annual Meeting.
