About

The Arts Center in Orange, Virginia, invites submissions for The Mini Masters Show, a juried group exhibition celebrating the power, intimacy, and innovation of small-scale works. The exhibition will feature 8” x 8” paintings by regional and national artists working across a wide range of media and styles. Artists are invited to submit three original 8” x 8” works. Any medium that can be framed and exhibited on a wall is welcome. All work must be submitted framed, except canvas works, which may remain unframed if edges are clean, finished, and professionally wrapped. All submissions must arrive ready to hang and are the responsibility of the artist for delivery and pickup. The Mini Masters Show explores the unique visual and emotional impact of small works. In a cultural moment dominated by spectacle, scale, and speed, this exhibition asks viewers to slow down and engage more intimately with art. Small mixed media artworks invite close looking, reward attention to detail, and create a personal encounter between artist and viewer.
