smallWORKS | Looking Out from Within
A juried biennial exhibition · Garrison Art Center
October 17 – November 22, 2026
smallWORKS returns to the galleries at Garrison Art Center this fall, inviting artists to consider artwork as a passageway — a frame through which we glimpse something beyond. Presented alongside INSCAPE / OUTSCAPE in the Balter Gallery, a curated exhibition drawn from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation, this year's smallWORKS takes inspiration from that show's meditation on how environments shape our ways of seeing and being in the world.
Submissions may reference artwork as a kind of window, open to both representational and abstract interpretations. Whether peering inward or outward, intimate or expansive, works are invited to explore how the plane of an artwork can become a threshold.
