Small Favors 2015

Apr 3rd - May 31st, 2015

The ClayStudio celebrates the 10th anniversary of Small Favors, an exhibition that challenges artists to work in adifferent scale. This exhibition provides high-quality artworks at an accessibleprice to art enthusiasts of all ages, and runs from April 3 – 26, 2015.

Since2006, The Clay Studio has held SmallFavors annually as a way to engage artists in new and exciting ways byproviding a 4” acrylic cube that places a limitation in scale that must berigorously adhered to (or creatively worked around). For some, the work createdis similar to the artists’ normal body of work, although at a reduced scale.Others use this as an opportunity to break away from daily studio practice.Regardless of their choice, the works exhibited are incredibly varied inmaterial, form, and aesthetics.
