The bill establishes June 21 as "Alaska Arts and Culture Day," which is intended to be observed annually. It allows schools, community groups, and various public and private entities to engage in celebratory events, projects, and activities aimed at promoting awareness and appreciation of the arts and culture within the state. This new observance is codified in a new section added to AS 44.12.

The bill also specifies that it will take effect immediately upon passage, as outlined in AS 01.10.070(c). This swift implementation underscores the importance of recognizing and celebrating the arts and culture in Alaska.
