CALL for ENTRIES: 35th Annual Small Works

TINY INDULGENCES

I love things in small packages. For many of my friends it conjures images of little blue boxes from Tiffany’s. Yes, I realize that is 2 refrences to the same jewelry store in one week, and no, it isn’t a holiday hint for my husband. I promise. For me, you can just send little blue boxes of Mariebelle chocolates and keep the jewels for yourself. This next Call may inspire your own small package.

JUROR: Aron Packer, owner and Director of Packer Schopf Gallery, will serve as the show juror. In September 2006, Packer joined forces with William Schopf to open their current space in the thriving West Loop gallery district in Chicago. Since 1987, Packer has mounted more than 200 exhibitions. Over the years, his focus has shifted from folk art to predominantly contemporary art, curating what he considers to be compelling, whatever the genre. This means art that is a little obscure, idiosyncratic, and reflective of the road not obviously taken.
