The District Gallery Presents:

THE BIG TINY SHOW

We are excited to announce our annual Big Tiny Show is back! This show is a national juried exhibition of small 2D works, opening Friday, November 22, 2024. The Big Tiny Show will include works from established and emerging artists, in a variety of subject matter, media, and expression. All artists aged 18+, living in any region of the United States, are encouraged to apply. First, second, and third place cash awards will be given, as well as (1) six-month gallery contract.

The focus of the Big Tiny Show is to celebrate the power of delightfully tiny original art. Each authentic work of art has a unique story that we’re excited to share with our clients. It is our aim to make these tiny, but mighty, original works accessible to anyone and everyone.
