About
Overview
Blaine Art Gallery invites artists to submit their most compelling small-scale artwork for a national juried exhibition. Celebrating both 2D and 3D work, this exhibition challenges artists to make a powerful statement within a compact format. With no restrictions on theme or subject, artists are encouraged to explore realistic, abstract, and unexpected approaches while allowing artistry, content, and composition—not sheer scale—to command attention.
