Annual “Small Works: $100 & Under” Offers Hundreds of Affordable Artworks
Fountain House Gallery Artists Are Joined for the First Time by Artists of Fountain House Bronx and Fountain House Hollywood in Presenting Works to the Public
On view: November 14 – December 21, 2024
Reception: November 14, 6-8pm
NEW YORK CITY – Fountain House Gallery – the premier venue in New York City representing artists living with mental illness – today announced the upcoming exhibition Small Works: $100 & Under. The show, an annual Gallery event that has become a perennial favorite of art lovers, collectors, and holiday shoppers, will open with a reception at the Gallery on November 14, 2024, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, and will remain on view through December 21, 2024. Extended hours (12:00pm-8:00pm) will be in effect on Thursdays and Fridays, November 15 through December 20. Fountain House Gallery is located at 702 Ninth Avenue.
“The artists continue to embrace the annual challenge of creating in the scaled-down format, unleashing their talents on fresh mediums and ideas,” said Fountain House Gallery Director Rachel Weisman. “The exhibit offers a unique and affordable opportunity to experience – and collect – an individual artist’s breadth of work, and we’re particularly excited this year to include in our presentation a dedicated showcase of works by members of Fountain House Bronx and Fountain House Hollywood.”
For the 2024 iteration of Small Works, the artists have created hundreds of pieces of original art, sized at 6 by 6 inches or smaller and priced at $100 or less. Artworks are sold on a first come, first served basis, and collectors are encouraged to shop directly off the wall.
Among the mediums represented in Small Works are acrylic, mixed media, fabric, digital photography, sculpture, and jewelry.
This program is funded, in part, by generous support from the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, the Lily Auchincloss Foundation, and the Renate, Hans and Maria Hofmann Trust.
