The opening reception of our last exhibit of the year is always a festive party
and a great opportunity to do your holiday shopping — or just get ideas the first night.
Come back anytime before Christmas to check off your gift list.
What are Small Works? Why Shop Small? Why Art?
- Small works are sometimes small or sometimes just simpler than the artist’s usual work.
- Small works are affordable.
- Small works don’t always fit in your pocket but sometimes they do.
- Small works make very cool gifts for someone you love. Cuz small works are original. Art. Not made in China.
- Small works are made by your friends, your neighbors, people you know and folks you really need to meet.
- Buying small works to give as a gift — or for your own self — well that just an admirable thing to do.
- When you buy handmade original art from a local artist, you are helping someone from our community make a living doing what they love to do.
- Our gallery is dedicated to making opportunities for artists of all experience levels, so they can thrive and therefore work their magic on all of us.
Consider doing your gift shopping this holiday season at small locally owned businesses that support artists. Can you imagine your city without Art?
