The youth activity program at the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum provides young people with opportunities to work with professional artists to learn artistic techniques and engage with art, history, and the collections of the Library, Archives, and Museum. These activities are sponsored by the Friends of the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum and are partially funded by the citizens of the City and Borough of Juneau through sales tax revenues.
Celebrate the opening of The Spirit Wraps Around You at the Alaska State Museum by creating a woven basket with a yogurt cup base with weaver Kay Parker. Kay has taught weaving classes throughout southeast and her sleeved tunic is featured in the exhibit.
Participation in this workshop is limited to Juneau students. Registration is required and will open in mid-April.
In January 2021, participants in the Youth Activity program looked back on 2020 and worked together to create the collaborative digital exhibit, Life in the Year 2020.
