FEATURED EXHIBITS


SMALL TREASURERS JURIED SHOW

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER

During the months of November and December, our Gallery features "Small Treasures", a juried art competition. This exhibition includes 43 entries of original artwork submitted by 25 established and emerging artists, with work in all media. 

Although the subject of this show was open to artists’ inspiration and interpretation, the main objective was to encourage and challenge artists to become involved in the exciting world of miniature art. 

The guidelines required works not to exceed 7 inches for 3-dimensional works and 11 inches for 2-dimensional works. Despite the size limitation, artists submitted works that incorporate a diverse range of materials to communicate this thoughtful concept. 

The winning artwork in this competition were selected by Leslie Belloso, artist and art educator at Salisbury University.

At the Open-To-The-Public reception on Friday, November 8, awards were presented to the following winners:

1ST PLACE -“75TH STREET NIGHT DUCKS”- PASTELS - BY SUZY QUADER 2ND PLACE - “VENETO “ - BLOWN GLASS - BY JASON GIUSTI 3RD PLACE - “INFORMATION” - MIXED MEDIA - BY ELLIE SCOTT HONORABLE MENTION - “SHOCO-BURROWING OWL” - ACRYLIC - BY CAROL GENTES HONORALBE MENTION - “HOLY MARY" - MIXED MEDIA - BY JIYEONG YUN HONORABLE MENTION - “RELUCTANT HEART" - COLLAGE - BY GAIL WYNN
