call for entry: Small Favors 2021

About the Exhibition

Small Favors engages artists’ creativity in new and exciting ways with the challenge of making pieces on a very small scale. For some artists, the work they create is similar to what they normally make, but at a reduced scale. Others use it as an opportunity to break away from what they create in their daily studio practice. The works exhibited are incredibly varied in material, form, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact.

Exhibition Dates: March 5, 2021 – May 9, 2021.

Preview Reception: Thursday, March 5, 6-7pm

Application Deadline

January 20, 2021

Requirements

  • Each work submitted must fit within a 4 inch cube.
  • Size limit is 3.75″ x 3.75″ x 3.75″
  • Artists may submit up to 3 objects
  • Each object will be judged individually
  • Image file names should not have any spaces in them
  • Use Chrome for best functionality with the application portal
