Master of Fine Arts

Among the artists who have come to UAF as Midnight Sun Visiting Writers have been poet and writer laureates, winners of the National Book Award, and Pulitzer Prize winners and nominees. Since the 1970’s, the Midnight Sun Writers Series has brought many of the nation’s finest writers to Alaska, and the writers scheduled to appear this year will add to that proud tradition. All Midnight Sun Visiting Writers readings are free and open to all.

The Visiting Writers Series is supported by the University of Alaska Foundation, a grant from the Alaska State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, UAF College of Liberal Arts, and UA President's Special Projects Fund.
