The Jag Gallery SMALL WORKS Juried Exhibit has become a highly anticipated and widely popular event showcasing work from an International field of artists.  Letty Nowak, artist and owner of the gallery originally hosted this show in her first art space, Key West's The Lemonade Stand Gallery, in 2005.  SMALL WORKS has steadily grown in significance and popularity ever since. The simple and only requirements are that the artwork is current, original, and does not exceed 10 inches in any direction, (including the frame, if applicable)  Accepted is 2D and 3D work; painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, textile, (no jewelry or AI please).  Artists may submit up to six pieces for this call.  The fee for each entry is $18. This year's show is, again, hosted by Jag Gallery at our brick and mortar gallery in Key West, Florida. The exhibit opens with a gallery reception on Saturday November 2nd, continuing through November 24th.

Accepted artwork must be for sale and Jag Gallery staff is available to assist in determining the selling price upon request.

Artists are responsible for shipping work to and, in the event that a work is not purchased, from the gallery.  If accepted, you will receive all necessary instructions and protocol for shipping at that time.  Please do not ship any artwork until you have heard if work has been accepted or not.  

Accepted artwork must arrive in excellent condition and installation ready.  Imperfections will be reason for disqualification (scratches, cracks, nicks...etc).  Received artwork which exceeds 10 inches will also be disqualified.  Kindly observe these guidelines.

When applying, please provide a clear image of your work.  In addition to our brick and mortar gallery, all accepted work will be available for purchase via Jag's online gallery, for which reason images must be high quality and as clear a representation as possible. White backgrounds are preferred for this, but not required.  The gallery is unable to reshoot artwork for online or promotional purposes.

Commissions are based on a 50/50 Gallery split and will be distributed by December 31st, 2024.
