Seed Lab

SEED Lab Building It Is Possible

Create. Convene. Converse. 

Seed Lab is a space for programming, residencies, convening, events, and exchange about people, place, planet, and potential, shared with the community and a community of creatives. 

Through Seed Lab, we explore ideas around healthy communities, the natural world, our shared living environment, and the key issues facing place and people today. We work with courageous, committed, and compassionate people locally and globally. We work with contemporary artists and other practitioners across disciplines, through residencies and projects, both in person and virtually.

The Seed Lab space is located at 111 W. 6th Ave., across from the Anchorage Museum at the corner of 6th Ave. and A St. The building’s façade and interior features murals by local artists.

Programs are often community-focused, collaborative, and informal, with opportunities to participate in conversations and events shared via the museum’s social media channels.
