This event has ended.

They say great things come in small packages. As 440 Gallery presents its Eighth Annual Small Works Show this December, this adage may just prove true. The artwork on the gallery walls, each piece no larger than 12", represents a strong Brooklyn artistic presence, but also showcases artists from all over the country. The show includes a variety of media-- painting, photography, sculpture-- chosen by this year's jurors, Michelle Segre and Steve DiBenedetto. Both are well-established New York City artists with extensive experiences in exhibiting their work, as well as in teaching. Segre is a sculptor who has exhibited her work widely since the mid-1990's. DiBenedetto is a painter who has been showing his work in the United States and Europe since the mid-1980's. (See below for more on our jurors.)

This much anticipated exhibition regularly opens with an overflow crowd spilling onto Sixth Avenue. There are three awards given each year: the Curators Award, the 440 Award, and the popular People's Choice Award which is determined by the number of "likes" received by the works in the show posted on 440 Gallery's Facebook page. Installed through the holiday season, the show attracts tourists, visitors in the neighborhood, as well as the many stalwart supporters of the local art scene. The show runs from December 6 through January 6, with an opening reception on Thursday, December 6, 6:00 - 9:00 pm.
