fortyfivedownstairs presents
SMALL!
4 – 21 December 2024
Opening night 3 December, 5-7pm
hours:
Tuesday – Friday: 12pm – 7pm
Saturdays: 12pm – 4pm
visitor admission: Free
fortyfivedownstairs is excited to once again be hosting our community-sourced, small works exhibition SMALL!
Whether you are a child artist, first time artist or a highly established artist, all artworks entered will be exhibited. SMALL! is a truly democratic exhibition, accessible for all artists regardless of experience or status.
SMALL! is an opportunity to see the walls of fortyfivedownstairs covered with an endless variety of styles and media including painting, drawing, photography, sketches, prints, textiles, and small sculptural works. As well, submissions of linocuts, relief prints, sculpture using recycled materials and embroidery show that size is no barrier to experimentation.
All the submitted artworks fit our two simple criteria – they’re no larger than 20 x 20cm and can hang on the wall.
All the artworks will be priced at $150 no matter the artist or the medium, making SMALL! a chance for audiences to access affordable art. And we want visitors to choose their favourites based solely on what they love, so artist names won’t be listed alongside the pieces.
We can’t wait to show you what can be done in a small space!
Submissions are now closed.
