Miniature art is an important part of any collection and SmallWorks is your way to begin. Such works are often a collector's first purchase because they are less expensive. A single small jewel of art can be that final, elegant touch in fine décor. On the other hand, a wall filled with framed miniatures makes for an impressive display of a collector's unique style and range of interests.

The Greenwich Workshop's SmallWorks are artworks with an image area of 144 square inches or less (for example, it could be 12" x 12" or 3"x 44".) Larger than the traditional miniature format (6" x 9"), the SmallWorks design gives the artist slightly more space and dimensions to play with, while still offering the collector or first time buyer a point of easy and unique access to the finest art from the finest artists.

We've offered smaller format works from our artists in the past, but it can be hard to understand relative size in our printed Catalogue. By creating the category of SmallWorks and by opening with a "show", we have put all the Greenwich Workshop artists together in one place and miniature art under the banner of SmallWorks.

SmallWorks is about opening the door to the joy of collecting, and it's part of a larger program to not only bring you the finest art from Greenwich Workshop artists, but to seek out new fine artists from around the world. In fall 2007 we will present the SmallWorks North America™ Exhibition and Sale of original art juried from an open call for entries that has already begun. The Top 40 selections from that exhibition will be invited to appear in our Spring 2008 SmallWorks Fine Art Edition Catalogue. And you will be helping us to select them.
