OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS
SMALL WORKS, BIG STORIES
December 2026 Group Exhibition
Awita New York Studio | Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Great art doesn't have to be large.
Awita New York Studio invites local, national, and international artists to apply for SMALL WORKS, BIG STORIES, a December group exhibition celebrating creativity, imagination, and the artistic possibilities of working on a smaller scale.
From bold colors and playful compositions to intricate details, abstract explorations, and unexpected perspectives, this exhibition invites artists to think big while working small.
There is no required subject matter or artistic style. We welcome diverse approaches and mediums, celebrating the unique perspectives of contemporary artists.
Taking place during the holiday season, the exhibition also encourages visitors to discover, collect, and purchase original artwork while supporting independent artists.
