Opportunity Description

U.S. National Deadline: November 21, 2026 – Buckham Gallery invites artists to submit SMALL work for our Call for Entry, entitled Small Works. Often, large artworks dominate and attract the attention of the art world because of their instant impact. However, smaller artworks are powerful in a more quiet way; they draw viewers in for a close, intimate experience and prove that something small can make a big impression.

Small Works is a national open call for visual art of any traditional or non-traditional media. Original works of art no larger than 12” in any dimension are eligible for this exhibition. All subjects, themes, media, and approaches will be considered. Presentation devices such as mats and frames should not exceed the 12″ criteria.

The exhibition will be held January 9 – 30, 2027 at Buckham Gallery in Flint, MI.

ELIGIBILITY
Artists must be 18 years of age or older and a resident of the USA. All media accepted and the theme is open to interpretation.

Media Specifications: 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, and video artworks welcome! All work must be original in concept, NO reproductions or AI created works.

STIPEND
Buckham Gallery will provide a stipend of $50 to each artist selected for this exhibition to aid in shipping costs. We acknowledge this may not cover all costs associated with the shipment and return of artwork.

ENTRY FEE
The entry fee is $25, up to 3 works may be submitted for that fee

APPLY ONLINE

SALES
Artwork may be for sale, though not required to be for sale. Artists set retail prices for their work. Buckham Gallery retains a 35% commission on sold work, 65% of the retail price for the Artists.
