Small Expressions
a show for the giving season

November 20, 2025 - January 5, 2026

MORE THAN 40 Pacific Northwest artists fill the gallery with small works, ranging from plein air paintings to mixed media to jewelry and beyond.

EACH WORK ENTERED in this juried show must be 16 inches or smaller in any direction. More than 600 submissions came in this year, and jurors Margaret Woodcock, Diane Urbani and the Northwind Art Exhibits Team combed through them all, selecting the wide variety of pieces now filling the gallery.

THIS EXHIBITION ENCOURAGES the giving of art during the holiday season. It is a dynamic show: As art buyers take home their purchases, fresh artwork is rotated in.

Join us for a special Art Walk celebration on Saturday, December 6. We will have refreshments, live music by Leila Block, and artists on hand from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.!
