This is a judged exhibition.

Bigger is not always better. The rejection of working on a large scale can be prompted by available materials or space to work, or simply the artist’s interpretation of macro to micro. Artistic creation on a grand scale once depicted importance, power or influence of subject and artist. Today, work created on a much smaller scale is no less important, influential or powerful. Rather, its creation offers a more intimate relationship between artist and subject and its completion offers that to subject and viewer. This exhibition celebrates the innovation of artists that work on a small scale – whether by necessity or intended message.

The Oak Park Art League is looking for work in any medium, (drawing, painting, mixed media, digital/new media, printmaking, photography, ceramics, fiber, glass, sculpture) that embraces the mode of creation on a small scale.
