Art makes the perfect gift – thoughtful, unique, and lasting. Yellow Studio’s “Small Works” celebrates the beauty of intimate scale, showcasing artwork that fits perfectly in any space and budget. This curated retail exhibition features works 11×14 inches and smaller, all priced at $500 or under, making original art accessible for gift-giving and collecting.

From delicate drawings to vibrant paintings, mixed media pieces to photography, “Small Works” brings together artists who understand that powerful impact doesn’t require grand scale. These perfectly sized pieces are ideal for first-time collectors, thoughtful gift-givers, or anyone who appreciates the charm of intimate artwork.

Yellow Studio invites women artists in the community to submit their small-format work – pieces that demonstrate how artistic vision and craftsmanship can create a profound impact within modest dimensions.
