Raising Spirits Festival 2026

Denali Arts Council is seeking spirit lovers to join us for our fourth annual “Raising Spirits”. This is a fundraising event for DAC and the Sheldon Community Arts Hangar. Join us for an elegant afternoon of delicious cocktails and spirits, artisanal snacks, and live music. This upscale event will also feature an art auction, an aerialist performance and an outdoor spirits’ garden lit with ice luminaries, Nordic candles, and toasty fires. 

The  Silent Art Auction showcases select, original and limited edition pieces from popular Alaskan artists. 

Raising Spirits' hors d'oeuvres will be an artistic palette of a taste of Talkeetna provided by local restaurants. 

Featured distilleries include Denali Spirits, Midnight Sun, Anchorage Distillery, and Ursa Major
