Our fourth annual Small Works, juried by artist, independent curator, and educator Cory E. Card, is a national juried exhibition of work 12 inches or smaller. The exhibition features the work of 121 artists from 32 states.

About the Juror(s):

As the former Curator at View Arts Center in Old Forge, NY, Cory has organized over 80 exhibitions. He holds an MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology and has held previous positions in the Exhibition Departments at the George Eastman Museum and the Albright Knox Art Gallery. Cory has taught courses at Rochester Institute of Technology, The College at Brockport, University of Rochester, and Monroe Community College.

"The parameters for this show, were rather wide open, beyond the size constraints. The submitted work was incredibly broad ranging in terms of media, and approach to working. I knew going in, I wanted to maintain as much diversity within the overall scope of the exhibition as possible as far as media and stylistic decisions were concerned.

As far as how I chose the works in the show goes, the first round of decision making was based purely on immediate reaction to the work, or essentially, my own personal aesthetic preferences. The works I loved were decided on in the initial round. After that, it really boiled down to decisions on composition, presentation, and intent, and ensuring a wide range of works in terms of media
and approach."  —Cory Card, juror
