Welcome to The Nave:
a space for supporting, celebrating and strengthening community by connecting people and ideas.
Community, Culture, and Art.
Located on the land of the Dena’ina, in the heart of the Spenard neighborhood of Anchorage, Alaska.
The Nave, previously called “Love Church,” became known as the “Church of Love” when local artists activated the empty space through large-scale projects and events rooted in the surrounding community. Today, The Nave is a vibrant hub for community events, meetings, and creative expression of all shapes and sizes.
Join us! Check out some upcoming events open to the public.
As a community and culture hub, The Nave works with artists, neighbors, and local businesses to host creative events and programs—open to all—in Spenard.
We would love for you to join us for some of our upcoming community events!
Host your next event at The Nave!
The Nave offers three event spaces that may be perfect for your next event. Equipped with high-speed internet, hybrid event technology, a stage, and film-quality projector, The Nave Community groups and businesses say that they appreciate the Nave’s centralized location, ample free parking, the ability to bring in their own food and beverages and the new outdoor deck. Event planners will feel good about supporting a great nonprofit entity!
