Little Things Art Prize was founded by Marnie Ross in 2015. Artists are invited to submit creative expressions of the ‘Little Things’ that make them happy or feel grateful. The science of Positive Psychology emphasises the benefits such focusing of our attention contributes to our health and happiness. As well as inspiring community creative engagement, the resulting finalists exhibition is a celebration of the artwork displayed and a shared positive experience.
The Finalist exhibition is held at Saint Cloche Gallery in Paddington, Sydney.
Little Things Art Prize is supported through the Woollahra Council Community & Cultural Grants program.

Help rebuild a pottery workshop, studio and home
Please help Steve Harrison and Janine King, our two friends and teachers, to rebuild their pottery workshop. After working tirelessly these last weeks to protect their beloved property, they have unfortunately lost both their pottery workshop and studio to the bush fires that have ravaged the village of Balmoral. Luckily, they managed to save the house, but any donation you make will help them rebuild the space they use for their livelihood and where we have spent so many special times creating and sharing with them.
