Since 2006, The Clay Studio has been holding our yearly Small Favors exhibition as a way to provide accessible, high-quality artworks that appeal to art enthusiasts of all ages. Small Favors challenges and engages artists in new and exciting ways by providing a 4 acrylic cube that places a limitation in scale that must be rigorously adhered to (or creatively worked around). For some artists, the work they create is similar to what they normally make, although at a reduced scale. Others use it as an opportunity to break away from what they create in their daily studio practice. Regardless of this choice, the works exhibited are incredibly varied in material, form, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact.
