Assemble’s 6×6 show is back!

The 4th Annual 6×6 Art Show will be held on Friday, February 6, 2026. 

6×6 is open to all artists of all ages and skill levels. Assemble will provide canvases, or you can make your own. This year, there is a challenge to remix a 6×6 from past years!

 

6×6 Prompt & Requirements:

Theme: Alchemy. How do you practice change every day? How do you transform the world around you?

This year, we’re challenging artists to transform a 6×6 from past years. Make something new out of what you’ve been given. What can you create that better serves you, your community, and the world?

  • Artwork must be 6 inches wide by 6 inches long. It may have an extended height of up to 12 inches.
  • All pieces must be ready to hang on a wall.
  • All artwork must be dry at drop off. No wet oil paints, please.
  • Please complete the “Drop Off Artwork” section of the application form when you return your canvas.
