Call for Art: Small Works

Continuing a cherished tradition now in its fourth year, our Small Works exhibition returns to celebrate the power of scale and the intimacy of detail. This juried show invites artists to explore creativity within a compact format, showcasing both 2-D and 3-D works no larger than 18 inches in any direction. From intricate sculptures to finely detailed paintings, drawings, and mixed media pieces, Small Works proves that size doesn't limit impact.

This unique exhibition offers collectors and art lovers an accessible entry point into the world of original art while highlighting the impressive talent and imagination of our creative community. Whether minimalist or richly layered, whimsical or profound, each piece in Small Works delivers a concentrated burst of expression that invites close, thoughtful engagement.
