Call for Artists: "Small Wonders" Exhibition at Gallery 114
In this exhibition, Small Wonders, we invite you to explore the power of compact creativity and the impact of small-scale art. Each piece reflects the artist's ability to convey big ideas in limited dimensions—emotions, stories, and artistic visions condensed into intimate formats. What can be expressed within the constraints of size? How does working small change your artistic approach or message? We encourage emerging and established artists to apply. The exhibit will be held in our South Gallery (smaller gallery) and will be opening on First Thursday, June 5, 2025, 5-8 pm and close on Saturday, June 28 at 5pm. Gallery is open Thursday-Sunday, 12-5. A slide show of work will be accessible to view on our website – www.gallery114pdx.com At Gallery 114, you can "expect the unexpected" because we are artist owned, artist run and artists unleashed. We encourage our members to take risks and explore new and different creative efforts with underlying quality and integrity. Application Requirements A complete application will have the following:
