ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:This exhibition invites artists to explore the power of scale — how size can transform meaning, perception, and emotional impact. Whether working in miniature or on a monumental scale, artists are encouraged to consider how dimensions influence the way we experience art. From intimate works that draw viewers in close to vast pieces that command a room, The Large and Small of It celebrates contrasts in proportion, perspective, and presence. All mediums are welcome, as we invite artists to play with size, balance, and the dialogue between the grand and the minute.
