ACC's annual Small Works show invites us to explore the creative potential of scale, proving that great things do indeed come in small packages. Each artist embraces the challenge of working small, using the limitation of size to reveal a wide range of innovation, technique, and storytelling. This show is open to all current members!
This exhibition is curated by Lucy and Dandy Michener and presented by the Athens Cultural Center with support from the Athens Community Foundation and ACC Members. The Athens Cultural Center’s programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
