Free Little Art Gallery (FLAG)
September Challenge
Feeling a little creative? Then come to the City Museum to pickup a free little bag of materials to make a little masterpiece for our Free Little Art Gallery (otherwise known as FLAG).

This free little bag of materials includes beads, board, and wire. We challenge you to use all of these materials, plus additional art supplies, to create a little work of art you can add to our Free Little Art Gallery.

The Free Little Art Gallery is located outside the City Museum at the side door on the Calhoun Avenue side of the building. Once you add a piece to the FLAG, you can choose a piece to take home and enjoy.

It is the story of the people of St. Paul and St. George (the Pribilof Islands) who experienced internment in Southeast Alaska at Funter Bay from June 1942 to May 1944, and their subsequent return home to the Pribilof Islands.
