Small works are very portable and fit well into many spaces. They also evoke in the viewer a sense of one's own physicality, in a completely different way than average or large sized works. Small works are intimate; inviting approach and inspection. Like short poetry, they are a challenge to craft with the same presence of their larger counterparts. For the fourth time, Manifest called to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension for consideration by a six person jury, and our most popular exhibit year after year.
The call resulted in a record 550 submissions by 254 artists in 38 states and 13 different countries. The exhibit will feature 51 works by 34 artists from the U.S., Ireland, and Sweden.
Exquisite works in a wide array of media and genre are included, such as painting, printmaking, sculpture, drawing, photography, and more. Due to the nature of the exhibit unusual combinations of works reveal art in its most serious and playful roles simultaneously.
