Of issue vi’s 36 pieces of writing and 9 pieces of art, editor Angel Tucker notes:
"[Creativity] is, without any sense of wonder or doubt, a universal value. I understand this to be true because of elementia. Within efforts to challenge the status quo and maintain creative edge, we have expanded elementia’s foundation to include Olathe Public Library in Olathe, KS, Cristo Rey High School in Kansas City, MO, Thomas Tallis Creative School in London, England and several schools in Lwimba, Zambia, Africa. I challenge each pair of eyes grazing this page today, tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that to create more, share more, collaborate more . . . . elementia is and will always be my muse, and I hope it will be yours. Creative humanity is a force to be reckoned; shall we change the world?"
The editorial committee for this issue includes teen selectors Tommy Gray, Sophie Poppie, and Hannah Zimmerman, library staff selectors and designers Angela Parks, Jennifer Taylor, Jon Nichols, Rithvick Mogali, Theo Goodloe, and staff editor Angel Tucker.
