History of the
Sheldon Community Arts Hangar
Denali Arts Council owns and operates the Sheldon
Community Arts Hangar. Don Sheldon, legendary glacier pilot,
built the Hangar in the 1950's for his business, Talkeetna Air
Service. Decades later, his wife donated the Hangar to Denali
Arts Council. Through community and grant funding, volunteers
renovated the Hangar into a community arts facility. After
adding a first floor, balcony, bathrooms and more, the venue
was opened in 2004. The Hangar's completion plan includes a
lobby, box office, studio, classroom, green rooms, office and
storage. |
