Who is ACPA?
ACPA, the Center and the Municipality of Anchorage

ACPA, schedules space use in the building, provides production management and technical expertise, sells tickets, and provides services for more than 240,000 patrons who enjoy the facility annually.
The Center itself is owned by the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA). ACPA's contract with the MOA provides approximately 58% of the operating revenue required to run this state of the art facility.

MyAlaskaCenter.com
In the fall of 2008, ACPA merged its facility website (myalaskacenter.com) and its ticketing services website (centertix.net) to create a new website called myalaskacenter.com, allowing visitors and patrons to have a seamless visit to our home on the web. The new website is more focused on the the events that you will find happening at the Center, while still providing the detailed facility related information that our user groups and clients have come to appreciate having at their fingertips!
The Center and the Community
One of The Center's main functions is to bring community together. As a downtown landmark the facility is not only a beautiful structure in the downtown skyline, but also a place where people come to have life changing experiences, every day!
