15th Annual 12″ & Under Small Works Group Show at Lebanon Picture Frame & Fine Art Gallery
Free | 5-8 p.m., Friday, August 2 | 847 Cumberland Street, Lebanon
GOOD THINGS DO COME IN SMALL PACKAGES!
Lebanon Picture Frame and Fine Art Gallery holding its 15th Annual 12” & Under Small Works Group Show
Who says bigger is better?! Local Central Pennsylvania artists, both professional and amateur alike, have been dispelling this myth for the past 14 years during Lebanon Picture Frame and Fine Art Gallery’s Annual 12” & Under Small Works Group Show. Over 50 artists annually submit over 100 pieces for exhibition. Paintings, sculptures, ceramics, collages, glassworks, mixed media, all less than a foot.
The challenge for the artists is to express themselves without allowing their creation to exceed 12” in any direction. Can an artist use their talent to create works of art in a space smaller than a dinner plate? Each year we find out that, yes, it is possible to create fabulous art in small packages! Stop in and see for yourself, sometimes smaller is better.
Over the past 14 years, Lebanon Picture Frame & Fine Art Gallery has been hosting this colossal small works group show. Be prepared to be delighted by the amazing entries at the Artists’ Reception on First Friday, August 2, from 5 to 8PM. The exhibition will remain on view through Saturday, September 28, 2024.
Lebanon Picture Frame & Fine Art Gallery has been serving the regional artistic community since 1999. Aside from professional and quality archival custom framing, its gallery regularly features exhibitions of local artists, as well as unique handcrafted gift items such as jewelry, paintings, ceramics, sculptures and more.
