little boxes, BIG ART is our holiday small works show Open Call at [things/found] Atelier in Portland, Oregon. All pieces need to be less than 12-ish x12-ish inches and priced for less than $150. There is a $5 submission fee and the gallery takes a 35% commission on all sold pieces. Artists will be paid within 2 weeks of the last day of the show.

We are looking for small works in all varieties of art. These will most likely be purchased as holiday gifts, but there’s always collectors who buy things for themselves. Whether you make paintings, drawings, woodwork, ceramics, photography, books & zines, textiles, assemblage, collage, jewelry or art made from found things, we would love to see it! We will be displaying work in a salon style so that we can put a lot of work on the walls. We also have some capacity for things that cannot be hung on the wall. We’re interested in all sorts of work!

To submit, please send photographs of up to twenty (20) pieces to angel@thingsfoundatelier.com. The link is at the bottom of the -call for entry- page. If your payment has a different name than the artist’s name, please let us know in the email with the images.
