# Small Expressions 2026

**Hosted by:** Northwind Art

**Type:** Exhibition | **Location:** Northwind Art's Jeanette Best Gallery, Port Townsend, WA, United States | **Deadline:** September 24, 2026 | **Entry fee:** $35

## About This Program

> "Small works for the gift-giving season"

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.

## Eligibility & Requirements

- **Geographic Eligibility:** Regional
- **Note:** We encourage all regional artists to apply, however artists should note that all accepted artwork must be delivered in person to Northwind Art's Jeanette Best Gallery at 701 Water Street in Port Townsend. We will not accept shipped artwork nor will we ship unsold work back to artists. Small Expressions is open to artists in all media. Selected artworks shall not exceed 16" in any direction, including frame and mount.

All submitted works must be for sale. All artwork must be the original creation of the applying artist and must not contain imagery derived from AI. Submission limit: 1 application per artist, maximum of seven entries.

The application fee is waived for members of the historically underrepresented BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities — use the code DISCOUNT at checkout. Artists can submit up to 7 images of their work (min 1, max 7). Each entry should include dimensions, medium, and retail price.
