About the Exhibition

Small Favors engages artists' creativity in new and exciting ways with the challenge of making pieces on a very small scale. For some artists, the work they create is similar to what they normally make, but at a reduced scale. Others use it as an opportunity to break away from what they create in their daily studio practice. The works exhibited are incredibly varied in material, form, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact.

Exhibition Dates: March 5, 2021 - May 9, 2021.

Preview Reception: Thursday, March 5, 6-7pm

Farewell to Old City

Help us celebrate our last year in Old City by applying to our most popular annual exhibition.  In the last few years we have expanded the Small Favors call to include artists working in other media. To reflect the generous spirit of the ceramics art community we have expanded the parameters of Small Favors to include all media.
