Tiny Art Show - Canvas Pickup!

Starts Saturday, September 10

Do you love creating? Do you love a challenge? We want you to make a tiny piece of art for our Tiny Art Show! Open to all ages and all mediums! Pick up a tiny canvas from the library (while supplies last) or create a tiny sculpture, a tiny felted creation, tiny knitting, or even tiny ceramics! Be creative!

Specifications: All artwork must be either on a 3x3 inch canvas or, if 3D, must be 3x3x3 inches or smaller in all dimensions. The first 150 registrants will receive a mini canvas, should they want one, and anyone after that wanting to participate can purchase their own canvas, use a 3X3 inch piece of paper, or create with a different medium as long as their final piece is 3x3x3 inches or smaller.

Important Dates: Participants will have until September 17th to pick up their canvas and until September 24th to drop their artwork off. When dropping off your artwork, please fill out this Google Form for us to label your work appropriately.
