Think Small 2025

Lawrence Street Gallery's Annual Think Small Show is back again. This all-media and size-limited show is a staple of our gallery and a longstanding December tradition. How can an artist express themselves in the biggest way possible in the smallest space available? Every year, we find out! Pieces for this call must measure a MAXIMUM of 12 inches in any dimension. The juror this year will be  Sheri Lee Robinson.

S. LEE ROBINSON (Sheri Lee Robinson) is an Abstract/Surrealist painter living and working in Detroit, Michigan. After graduating from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1989 with a BFA in painting, she embarked on a long, prolific career that has landed her compelling work into the hands of art collectors worldwide.
