Our small works show is back!

We are excited to welcome local artists to participate in our 13th small works show in Northampton, MA. Here’s how it works: We provide an optional 5×7” and 6×6” birch panel to create your masterpiece on! Entries are $38 and are limited to 3 entries per person. The entry fee includes one panel, a frame, and UV glass (also optional). A variety of custom frames will be available for you to choose from when you drop off your entry (all panels and frames are first-come, first-serve).

Submission requirements:

• Limit 3 entries per person. Frame and/or glass not required (but please stay within 5×7 or 6×6 panel size).
• Work must be for sale. There is a $475 price cap for all small works. Gallery commission is 30% of sale price.
• 3D/assemblage work is allowed – it must be attached to the panel and able to hang on the wall(and stay within the panel sizes).
• Plastic and clip frames will not be accepted.
• Wet pieces are not accepted – please make sure painted pieces are dry.
• A limited quantity of shadowbox frames will be available (first come, first serve) but there will be a $10 fee for fitting.
• Please make sure work on paper is cropped to 5×7” or 6×6” – we are happy to crop for you for a $5 fee.  Art must be cropped before drop off.  No exceptions.
• Art must be original. Artwork from past Small Works will not be accepted.
• Panels & submission forms are available at the shop starting Saturday, November 29th.
• Unsold artwork that is not picked up by the due date will be donated.
  
• The show will be hung salon-style and is cash-and-carry which means that as art sells, it leaves the gallery and new work is hung in its place. While this allows us to accept many pieces, the show is still curated based on uniqueness and presentation.
• By participating in the Small Works Show, you agree to commit submitted artwork to Hope & Feathers for the entire duration of the exhibit and acknowledge that work may be sold on sight and should not be committed to any other exhibits as customers will take away artwork upon purchase. Due to limited wall space, even if work is accepted it may not make it into the initial hanging of the show.
• Purchase entries at the shop & online! Questions? Contact us!
