15th Annual 12×12 Community Art Exhibit March 1st

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 12×12 exhibit, the City Museum offers the opportunity for artists and visitors to recommend future 12×12 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!

All entry forms and entry fees of $12.12 per submission are due February 12th. All artwork will be accepted Tuesday, February 19th through Saturday, February 23rd, 2019, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Each submission must include a title, artist name, and contact information attached to the back. Download 2019 12X12 Entry Form.
