The Fourth Annual Community Tiny Art Show highlights collage and mixed media projects in a small-scale format. This free community showcase is open to everyone and features an array of visual tiny art at The Local Artisan Collective, with opening night presented alongside Art Stroll. The exhibition is not only for viewing. Community members of all ages and experience levels may contribute their own tiny pieces. Entry is free, artists work with their own supplies, and there is no jury. Submissions can depict any subject as long as the image is family friendly and the finished piece measures under 4 inches by 4 inches. Each artist may submit up to five works, which will need to be delivered to The Local Artisan Collective for inclusion in the show. Mixed media collage blends elements like painting, photography, textiles, and digital art into layered compositions with roots in early 20th century experimentation and a spirit of ongoing innovation.
