Each year the City Museum hosts a unique community art exhibit in which artists of all ages are encouraged to create works within the parameters of a square or a cube, measuring 12" x 12" (by 12") including the framing. This year we encourage artists to create on the theme of "Elements".

Each year during the 12x12 exhibit, the City Museum offers the opportunity for artists and visitors to recommend future 12x12 themes and "Elements" was chosen for 2019. This theme lends itself to all artistic mediums and has a variety of meanings: Classical Elements typically refer to the concepts of earth, water, air, fire and aether; The Chinese Wu Xing system lists Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water; Modern science recognizes classes of elementary particles which make up the Periodic Table of Elements; and more! This theme offers an abundance of creative opportunities for Juneau's artists!
