The Big Small Show 2024, 11/22/24 - 12/21/24
OPENING 11/22/24 - 11/24/24 The Big Small Show 2024 will be a review of works on paper made in the past 2 years. 10% donation from Drawing Rooms on sold works will go to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Now in its ninth year at Drawing Rooms, The Big Small Show will include multiple pieces by each artist in our expanded gallery space which includes The Terrarium Gallery and The Alcove Gallery at Drawing Rooms. Our goal is to gather together a large array of innovative and exceptional new works on paper to produce an exciting survey show. We will create a catalog with all of the works, which will be available to view online and will be for sale on Amazon and at Drawing Rooms. The exhibition will be featured on Artsy, shared on our website, email newsletter and social media platforms. The Curator will write a Statement and the show will be reviewed. EVENTS
