Small Favors 2017: Think Inside the Box

Mar 3rd - May 27th, 2017

Thousands of artists from around the country have participated in our annual Small Favors exhibition in Philadelphia overthe past decade. There is a single parameter, to fit the work inside a 4-inch cube. Some artists treat the cube as a small gallery or diorama, while others use the challenge to explore new work on a small scale. By responding to both opportunities and boundaries Small Favors: Thinking Inside the Box will offer visitors a highly concentrated yet widely varied collection of intimateaffordable sculpture.

For this special presentation of the exhibition Small Favors: Thinking Inside the Box we will explore two new aspects, a publication based on the 4-inch cube design, and a partnership with our neighbor The Center for Art in Wood.  

Juror's Statement from Michael Radyk:

I was very excited to be a juror for the Small Favors: Think Inside the Box exhibition this year. The selected artists represent a marriage of concentration, sensitivity, and design. The exhibition makes small noble, and invites us to stop, focus, and look. In the selected works you can find big ideas, individuality, and material awareness. For me, the overall goal of an exhibition like Small Favors is to find delight and joy in those tiny spaces.
