THE BIG SMALL SHOW, 12/16/16-2/18/2017

Artist Reception: Friday, 12/16/16, 6-9pm &  Saturday, 12/17/16,  2-6pm
Workshop/Talk: Sunday, 1/29/17; Saturday, 2/4/17; Sunday 2/2/17, 3-5pm

THE BIG SMALL SHOW, features over 100 artists showing small painting, drawing and 3 dimensional works!

It's a weekend of art, music, wine, food and a silent auction and hundreds of people are expected to attend the event. Admission to the Big Small Show is free of charge, and all artworks are for sale.

This is the fourth annual BIG SMALL SHOW at Drawing Rooms. Our biggest exhibit of the year includes over 90 artists from the NY/NJ/CT metropolitan area. Our goal is to create a show with a large array of innovative and exceptional new paintings, drawings and 3-dimensional works to produce an exhibition that surveys recent art in our area.

For THE BIG SMALL SHOW we make full use of our multi-gallery room format to gather a group of small works from each artist, grouping them in context together with one another, creating visual, formal and conceptual connections, amplifying themes and deepening ways of understanding the works. Curator Anne Trauben has connected with many artists new to us for this exhibition along with artists who are part of our year-round community. Many of the artists in the show as well as other artists invited from the community have donated a work to the art auction that accompanies the exhibit.

Victory Hall Yearbook catalogue - spotlighting all of our 2016 arts projects including over 200 artists’ works we have shown this year. Many local businesses are showing support by sponsoring an ad in the catalogue. The Yearbook will be featured at DRAWING ROOMS’ public events and on-line. “

Art Auction- Affordable original artworks from many area artists will be up for Silent Auction at the event. It’s a great opportunity to own a work of original art, find a special holiday present and support Jersey City Arts!
