PLUS Tiny Art Component

During GPAG’s Present Tense Members’ Exhibition, members may also submit tiny artworks to the Tiny Members’ Exhibition in the library lounge. If a member submits artwork to the Tiny Members’ Exhibition they may still make a submission to Present Tense. Members may submit up to four pieces of Tiny Art to the Tiny Members’ Exhibition. Artworks may be 2D or 3D and in any medium, they must be under 6” x 6”, and they must be ready to hang or display. Please use this entry form for your tiny artworks.

We encourage local and visiting artists of all abilities to contribute and donate to the tiny art gallery. This is a free exchange (similar to a tiny library); you bring in a piece of art and exchange it for one of your choosing. Pieces are not juried, but are selected for display at the discretion of the Gallery. Donations of tiny artworks (without exchanging) are also welcome.

The size is limited to six inches by six inches maximum and can be either 2D or 3D. Please ensure 2D work is ready to hang.

The Tiny Art Gallery is located in the front west window of the Gibsons Public Art Gallery and will be open for exchange during gallery hours and visible 24/7. Drop by and have a look. Take photos and share on social media (tag #gpagart).

In addition, we will be featuring a ‘tiny’ artist exhibit each month (for four weeks duration) in a side window. To be featured, artists should apply to info@gpag.ca with your name, contact information (including email) and information about your artwork (type, size, genre). Artists do not need to be GPAG members, although membership in our gallery is a wonderful opportunity and is strongly encouraged. Applications to be a featured ‘tiny’ artist will be on a first come, first served basis. The size limitations for pieces apply and there is room for three to five pieces of art. These art pieces will be available for sale, if the artist so wishes. We also strongly encourage the featured artist to donate a piece to the Tiny Art Gallery for free exchange. Note: featured artists and work may be identified in gallery promotional materials.
