For over 3 decades our Small Works Show has provided a visual forum for both established and undiscovered artists working in a small format. The juried exhibit includes art works in every medium imaginable, and offers an opportunity to see together in one place in New York city hundreds of art works selected from thousands of local and international entries.
This year's Small Works was judged by Richard Witter of OK Harris Works of Art in New York. The unique concept of the competition dictates that all works submitted for possible exhibition measures 12 inches or less in every dimension. Throughout the years, tens of thousands of artists contributing from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and our own hemisphere, have challenged this size restriction with innovative and exciting creations. Although often imitated, the diversity and consistent quality of artworks exhibited in Small Works is rarely matched.
