JRB Art at the Elms “Small Works” show was one hundred paintings by one hundred artists.
Gallery owner Joy Reed Belt gave each artist an 8×8 canvas and asked them to to paint or create whatever they wanted to create. The variety was amazing. Some of the artists painted miniatures similar to the paintings they create on a regular basis. A few of them added volume to the canvas.
Two of the photographer sewed photographs on the canvas in a very creative manner. Some of the artists created paintings that are very different from what they usually create. Several of the artists made elaborate collages.
The paintings were hung in a large grid and all were priced at $180.
At the reception and show Iguana and Seasons catered the event.
