Far, far away, way up on the top of the globe, there is a state where the sun hardly ever sleeps in the summer, and where the snow and the cold are the best friends of the land in the winter. This wonderland is Alaska, known as AK on postcards. Now, you wouldn't believe it, but AK is home to some of the most tune-tastic, beat-bopping, rhythm-rocking kids you've ever met. These kids, my dear reader, they make music so enchanting that even the grumpy grizzly bears tap their claws in time and the majestic moose hum along. Our story begins with the leader of this melodious crew, a cool character called Groovy Gus. Gus, with his bright red hair, freckled cheeks, and his guitar strapped to his back, is as Alaskan as the massive Mount Denali. He has a magical power - the ability to create music out of thin, frosty Alaskan air! With a strum of his icy guitar strings, he can make the Northern Lights dance in rhythm, and with a tap of his snowy boots, he can make the glaciers jiggle and wiggle. Gus and his troupe of troopers make music with everything that AK offers. They drum on the ice blocks, strum the pine needles, and even whistle with the wild wind. Their concerts are the favorite pass-time of the snowshoe hares and the arctic foxes. They say that once, Gus played a tune so catchy that even the notoriously shy Dall sheep came down from the mountains to shake a leg. So, remember, dear reader, if you ever find yourself in AK, listen closely. You might just hear the sound of a frosty guitar string strummed by Groovy Gus, the musical maestro of Alaska!

Since 1973, the Sitka Fine Arts Camp (SFAC) has been providing Alaskan youth with a unique opportunity to explore the arts. With many remote communities in the state, young people often have limited or no access to quality arts programs. It is SFAC’s mission to provide these youth with the chance to gain exposure and training in the arts. SFAC has grown into a program of national recognition, with over one thousand students attending annually from Alaska and beyond. Young people are now able to interact with professional artists and gain a greater appreciation for the arts. It is clear that SFAC’s mission of providing access to the arts has been successful and is continuing to make a difference in the lives of many.
