NOW IN THE PORTMAN GALLERY
Little Things
Juried Open Call Exhibition
of Small Works
October 29 - November 22, 2024
An eclectic selection of 70 pieces of “little” art will dance across the walls of the Portman Gallery at Glynn Visual Arts (GVA) in its newest exhibition, “Little Things,”
Twenty-nine coastal artists are invited to present up to three pieces – each one no larger than 12 inches in any dimension. Mixed media, acrylics, beads, ceramics, oils, watercolors, photography, pastels, clay, embroidery, collage and more will be part of the show.
The old saying, “Good things come in small packages,” definitely applies to this collection. “A creative and moving piece of art does not necessarily fill a big space,” said Barbara Northrup, a GVA Board Member who helped curate the art for this show. “Small art draws you in for closer inspection and contemplation” she said.
Art lovers may find just the right piece for themselves or as a gift for the upcoming holiday season. “Little Things” original art is priced from just $45 to $450.

Leigh Kirkland
How We Send Ourselves into the World
Leigh Kirkland is a St Simons artist who reimagines found objects to uncover beauty in and in spite of the waste in consumerism.
The larger altered collographic prints are made from unfolded packaging, the literal detritus of the products we are made to want.
The smaller series, also altered collographs, reproduce feathered Mardi Gras masks, disguises to conceal the excesses that precede Lent, and the covid-era masks we wore as protection from the dangers of the world.
