SMALL//works 2022
Kamloops Arts Council members are invited to be a part of this year’s SMALL//works Fundraiser, a fabulous opportunity to show your work and support KAC! This exhibition is composed of small, one of a kind, original artworks by area artists available for sale for under $300. The goal is to fill the KAC gallery spaces and other high profile display areas with a ton of small affordable, original artwork, during the pre-holiday season. Please bring us your fresh, smaller pieces to be part of this exciting show.
All proceeds from the fundraiser/sale go to the artists and to support the KAC (sales are shared 50% to the artist and 50% to KAC). Payment cheques for sold work will be issued within 30 days of the end of the exhibit.
The show opens at the Old Courthouse on Friday, November 18th and continues until Friday at 12pm, December 23rd (pick up of unsold artwork will be from 1-4 pm on December 23rd and January 6 & 7, 2023). Any artwork not picked up by January 14th, 2023 will become the property of the Kamloops Arts Council. You will be required to volunteer to lend a hand in making this event possible. We will need extra help with art drop off, installation, the opening reception as well as greeting and counting visitors for the duration of the show.
You may submit up to 10 works of art for this intake each UNDER 200” sq. INCLUDING THE FRAME. We have space for both 2D and 3D artwork this year. Jewellery or extremely fragile items will be displayed under plexi display cases for security.
