ABOUT THE
EXHIBITION

OVERVIEW

Small Works Holiday Exhibit

The Suwanee Arts Center is excited to present the "Small Works Holiday Exhibit," a delightful celebration of creativity, community, and the joy of the holiday season! Our goal is to uplift artists by offering exciting opportunities through several curated exhibits throughout the year, including this special holiday event. Artists are invited to submit their 2D and 3D artworks in any medium, emphasizing exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful presentation.  Artwork does not need to be holiday-themed subjects. 

​

A Festive Showcase for Holiday Gifts!
​

Celebrate the holidays in Suwanee with us! The Small Works & Holiday Market Exhibit will feature an enchanting selection of artwork perfectly sized for holiday gifting. Reproductions will be accepted for holiday sales.  Visitors will discover a treasure trove of unique pieces, including paintings, photography, pottery, jewelry, mixed media, woodworking, and sculpture—each bursting with creativity and holiday spirit.

All artwork should be smaller than 20" in dimension, making them ideal for gift-giving, and will be priced with the holiday shopper in mind.  Even better, guests can take home their favorite pieces on the spot, adding an extra layer of excitement to the season of giving!

Come join the Suwanee Arts Center for this festive exhibition,  exhibit your one-of-a-kind gifts, and help spread the joy and magic of the holidays! 🎄
