call for entry: Small Favors An Exhibition of Diminutive Works
Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2016. No paper applications will be accepted.
View works from past Small Favors Exhibitions.
Small Favors engages artist’s 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. Regardless of this choice,
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. Each work is exhibited in a four-inch
plexiglas wall mounted cube. Small Favors will be on view from March 25 –
May 1, 2016.
Conceived of in 2006, Small Favors grew out The Studio’s efforts to
offer accessible, high-quality artworks that appeal to art enthusiasts
of all ages: for seasoned collectors who are challenged for space it
allows them to continue to collect work by artists they love. For young
art collectors it provides a financially accessible entry point.
It is our sincere hope that offering a juried exhibition of this kind
brings to light new makers and broadens the audience we reach through
the display of these unique works of art.
A complete application consists of the following:
- Personal contact information
- Up to three digital images (.jpeg files) no more than three pieces
maximum. Images must be of works available for inclusion in this
exhibition with no measurement exceeding 3.75”
Corresponding image information: title, medium, size, and date - $25 Application Fee
