Good things come in small packages. Aesop supposedly said it first. But if the ancient Greek storyteller were around today, heâd get no argument from the folks at Whitemarsh Art Center. The WAC staffers are currently asking area creatives to donate original work for their May 22 âBIG Tiny Art Showâ fundraiser, and although donations can range from paintings to ceramics and âeverything in between,â they canât be any larger than 6 x 6 inches.
The â virtual â WAC benefit is free and open to the public. Artists interested in contributing should e-mail gallery@whitemarsharts.org and include a photo and description of the piece being donated. Drop-off dates at WAC headquarters in Cedar Grove Park are April 23 (noon to 5 p.m.) and May 1 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.). At press time, some 50 originals had been submitted, but WAC Director Hadley Yates hopes to have âat least twice as manyâ on offer on May 22. Each will sell for $66, and all proceeds will go toward maintaining programs at the non-profit art center at 100 Cedar Grove Road.
