National Small Works

including work selected from 122 artists, representing 22 states, including DC

Reception & Awards: Saturday, August 2, July 5, 2-5:00 pm

It is with great pleasure that we announce the 27th year of the National Small Works Show. The exhibit honors Peggy Doole (1934-2021), long-time resident of the DC area who shared her love of art by giving lectures, sponsoring exhibits, and leading tours at the Hirshhorn, the National Gallery of Art, and other museums throughout Europe and the U.S. Her post-graduate museum work led her to a focus on, and a special passion for, printmaking that makes this honor a fitting tribute from her family.

This exhibition of contemporary work includes thirty-five examples of printmaking: hand-pulled prints, screen prints, digital prints, fine art photographs, and three-dimensional work with print components. All were chosen by our juror Margaret Winslow, currently the Chief Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art at the Delaware Art Museum.
