The MVA Gallery (Modern Visual Arts) invites artists, photographers and sculptors of all levels (emerging to established) to submit original artwork to this exhibition. National Call For Entries: In an age populated with zealous promoters of products and images who seek to supersize almost everything, the MVA Gallery fervently proclaims the virtues and pleasures of smallness. We celebrate art in its diminutive, compact and miniature forms because small works can reflect big ideas, big visions and big talent. Small art can tease our senses, challenge our perceptions, influence our thinking and arouse our strongest emotions. So artists, rejoice in this opportunity to submit your small art -- traditional and non-traditional -- no longer than 18 inches on the longest side. The exhibit has no restrictions on subject matter or style. We enthusiastically welcome your interpretations and visions. | Entry fee: $35 | Deadline: August 8th, 2024 | Learn more here.
