Small! 2026

Rooted in the values of opportunity, inclusion, and equality, SMALL! celebrates creativity in all its forms. Submissions were open to everyone – no matter their age, experience, or background – and every piece entered is included in the exhibition.

Artworks by children, first-time creators, emerging talents, and established professionals are displayed side by side. An endless variety of styles and media is represented, including painting, drawing, sketches, prints, textiles, and small sculptural works. All pieces adhere to a single rule: each must measure no more than 20 x 20 cm.

Each work is priced at $160, irrespective of the artist’s experience or medium. The artworks are presented anonymously to level the playing field, encouraging buyers to choose based solely on personal connection and aesthetic appeal. The identities of the artists are revealed only after a work is sold, making every purchase a surprise and a celebration of artistic equality.

We will be awarding prizes at the Closing Night Event on Thursday 17 December, 5-7pm. The award categories include: Under 18 Prize, Painting Prize, Drawing Prize, Print-Making Prize, Sculptural Prize, Photography Prize, Textile Prize and Mixed-Media Prize . Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite work in the People’s Choice Award , which will be announced after the conclusion of the exhibition.
