Crowded calendar for February’s First Friday

On this Wednesday’s Juneau Afternoon, arts are front and center stage, starting with the Juneau-Douglas City Museum. You’ll hear about some small pieces of art. Only 12 by 12.

Guest: Niko Sanguinetti, Curator of Exhibits and Collections.

For its First Friday event, the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council features the genius of Gabrielle Vance, a geologist, an artist and a cartoonist. Also a preview of JAHC’s February events. Guest: Nancy DeCherney, Executive Director.
