Small Expressions 2026

Small Expressions is a juried small works exhibit designed to encourage art purchases for the gift-giving season. The show is open to artists in all media, with selected artworks no larger than 16 inches in any direction, including frame and mount. All submitted works must be for sale. A $250 cash prize will be presented for the Jurors' Choice Award.

Artworks will be juried online from submitted images. Unlike most other exhibits where all selected work is up for the entirety of the show, when work is sold at this exhibit it will be removed immediately and replaced with a new work. Selected artists will have one to three artworks displayed at a time, with a few pieces in backstock ready to replace any artworks that have been sold.

Artwork will be chosen by a panel of two Northwind Art curators, local artists Kim Kopp and Anne Hirondelle. The jurors will judge the quality, professionalism, and sales potential of the work. A maximum of seven entries may be submitted per artist. Submitted digital images should represent the quality and nature of the work. Work that is considerably different than the submitted images may not be accepted. Only one image per artwork may be submitted.
