Think Small 2024:

An All-Media Juried Exhibit at Lawrence Street Gallery

Opening reception: Sunday, December 8th, from 2 – 4:30

Mid Reception: Sunday, December 22nd, from 2 – 4:30

How does an artist express themselves in the biggest way in the smallest space? Just think small! This exhibit brings the art down to a miniature size, with its participants making itty-bitty paintings, sculptures and other works to be displayed in a 12 inch by 12 inch format – none larger. Tiny stories are made into 2 and 3 dimensional forms to surprise and delight the viewer. We have 91 imaginative items from 106 entering artists. What an effort it was to whittle these marvelous images down to our exhibit space! This is a favorite show for Lawrence Street Gallery since it gives the public an opportunity to gift friends and family or us with just a little slice of original art for our homes or office.

Edward Duff was juror for this amazing show. Born in London England, Duff spent time travelling between the Midwest and the East coast where he formed his love of the rugged coastline and landscapes. His paintings have gained numerous national awards, and he is represented in galleries in Connecticut, Michigan and Newfoundland. Additionally, Duff is a member of the faculty at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center. He worked as a Studio Assistant for the Detroit Institute of Art, the Art School Director for Paint Creek Center for The Arts from 2011 – 2014 and teaches many workshops throughout Michigan. He chose an amazing and diverse sampling of local art for the Lawrence Street Gallery Think Small show.

106 artists entered, nearly twice the number of entries we had in 2023!  While Think Small is almost always ironically our largest show, we were blown away by the number of entries.
