An Exhibition For Ants -

Annual small works exhibition…part 2!!!!!!!

This year we are making things even freaking smaller!!!!!!!!

Read through all the info first and then submit your work through the link at the very bottom!

Last year (2023) we hosted our first Exhibition For Ants (small work exhibition) where we featured aprox 122 artists and over 160 artworks. This year we are bringing it back and going even BIGGER (metaphorically bigger… the artwork size is going to be smaller this time)

This year, our small works exhibition will fall on our two year gallery birthday, so this is going to be an extra special event. We want to use this opportunity to fundraise for the year ahead.

The details!

What can you submit?

All artworks 25x25cm or smaller, this includes the frame! (we encourage smaller because we loooove tiny art!!)

Any and all mediums excluding digital projection/sound - we basically have to be able to hang it on the wall or pop it on a plinth!

All artwork must be ready to hang or able to sit on a plinth. Works on paper will be pinned to the wall unless they have tabs.

Price/fees

Each successful submission is a $40 non refundable entry fee, everyone who enters this exhibition will be accepted (unless your work falls in the "what we won't accept" section (which I'm sure it wont since we have such an incredible community!)

30% commission will be taken from any sold pieces

Free entry for First Nation Folk- please email us

If finances are a barrier to accessing this exhibition, please email us so we can work something out.

Who can submit?

Anyone! you don't have to be an experienced artist to be part of this exhibition, this is a great chance for people to be part of an exhibition for the first time, or maybe a way to help get out of artist block.

What we wont accept!!!!!!

Anything larger than 25 x 25 cm.
