Small Expressions 22: A Juried Exhibit of Small Works

Small Expressions, now in its 22nd year, is a juried small works exhibit designed to encourage art buying for the gift-giving season. Open to all media, including jewelry, entries must be original, entirely the work of the entrant, and executed within the last three years. No work shall exceed 16" in any direction, including frame and mount. Artwork will be juried in person and then exhibited at Northwind Art's Jeanette Best Gallery in downtown Port Townsend. Buyers can take the work after the opening weekend.

This is a local exhibit—only artists living in Jefferson, Clallam, Mason, Kitsap, and Island counties of WA are eligible. A maximum of three entries may be submitted per artist at $35 for up to 3 entries. All artwork must be hand delivered; no shipped work will be accepted. Artwork will be chosen by a panel of Northwind curators based on the quality and creative voice of the work. No "not-for-sale" entries will be accepted. Awards include a $500 One Juror's Choice Award and $300 Three Merit Awards.

Drop-off for jurying occurs October 31, 12-5 pm and November 1, 9 am-1 pm at Northwind Art, 701 Water Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368. Artists will be notified by email on November 1 at 6 pm. The exhibition opens November 4 at 12 pm and closes December 31 at 5 pm. Unsold artwork can be picked up January 2-3, 2024. Should work sell, Northwind Art will pay 50% of the retail selling price.
