The LIVING IN A MINI WORLD ART EXHIBIT FEATURES SMALL (and smaller)
artworks by Del Ray ARTISANS MEMBERS. Embrace the tiny! Imagine you
have drunk Alice in Wonderland’s magic (BIG) potion, or are in The
Borrowers, Stewart Little, or Gulliver’s Travels.
This exhibit is a collection of art smaller than a magazine. It has
pushed some artists who are large scale painters or textile artists to
think small. There are paintings perfect to fit in your tiniest spot,
3D works for the corner of your coffee table and lots of different
types of jewelry. All the art is a perfect gift for you or early
holiday shopping for others.
Come see the artwork awarded: Best in Show, Tiniest Piece, Monet
Award, Best Use of Color, Palette Award for Painting, Da Vinci Award
for most inventive, and Jackson Pollock Award for messiest use of
materials. Visit the gallery and get to virtually know the artists.
There will be written artist introductions with most of the work.
Reserve a ticket now for a half-hour viewing on opening day: Friday,
October 2, 2020 between 12-8pm. The gallery capacity is limited to 10
people at any one time in order to facilitate social distancing.
Please wear a face mask and maintain 6′ of personal space. For
tickets, visit DelRayArtisans.org/event/mini-world
In addition to seeing the exhibit in October, register now for the
special small format Playing with Resin workshop on Monday, October 12
from 6-9pm. Instructor Tracy Wilkerson will teach you the ins and outs
of mixing resin and using it in your artwork as an adhesive, a
covering, or the main medium. Workshop details and registration is at
www.DelRayArtisans.org/workshops
All the art is available for purchase - come early in the month to
have the widest selection! Get an early treat by visiting the gallery
the day before Halloween (on Friday, October 30) and receive a special
sweet gift with your purchase. Halloween costumes are not necessary,
