Small Works Show at the Brinton Museum

On October 22, The Brinton Museum announced their upcoming Small Works Show Exhibition. The exhibition will run from November 2 to December 23, 2024 in the S. K. Johnston, Jr. Family Gallery and the Jacomien Mars Reception Gallery.

This presentation comprises original works of art by artists from throughout the U.S. working in varying artistic styles and media. The institution’s inaugural Small Works Show took place in 2014 in what was the museum’s Reception Gallery. Its success started the tradition of featuring diverse works by nearly 100 invited artists.

The intent is to showcase original art by accomplished artists in a price range that is affordable for museum patrons as well as new collectors. This idea remains in place today with participating artists, some who are longtime friends of The Brinton, and others new to the museum, submitting up to 3 works each. Familiar artists featured this year include works by: John Taft, John Potter, Barbara Berry, Jake Gaedtke, Sandra Harris, Michael Untiedt, and Pat Trout, to name a few.
