It’s a canvas that’s only 12 square inches, but Juneau artists of all ages have found ways to pack a lot into a small space.

On this Wednesday’s Juneau Afternoon, a preview of a new exhibit opening this Friday at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum — the 18th annual 12x 12 Community Art Exhibition. This year’s theme “Energy,” is an opportunity for local artists to express how they feel about this subject.
