The Little Art Exhibit

March 4 - May 1, 2025 in the Central Gallery

The Little Art Exhibit invites you to embark on a fascinating journey into the world of the tiny, the delicate, and the intricately detailed. This small group show celebrates that size is no obstacle to creativity. From tiny paintings to intricate papercuttings and minuscule sculptures, this exhibition offers a diverse range of artworks that challenge the boundaries of scale, craftsmanship, and imagination. Every minuscule brushstroke, cut, or sculpted form tells a story of its own. In a world where bigger often takes center stage, The Little Art Exhibit encourages you to slow down, lean in, and celebrate the small things.
