The Brinton 101 was so popular in its first year in 2014 that that the small-works show has been a staple event ever since. “The premise of the small-works show…is to offer an exhibit of high-quality, affordable art for collectors and patrons of all walks of life and varied interests,” notes the museum, for which it marks the final exhibit of the year, aptly coinciding with the holiday season.

This year’s show includes 270 works by nearly 101 talented artists from throughout the United States working in a variety of mediums and styles. Invited artists are asked to submit up to three works 8 by 10 inches in size for flat mediums and 12 by 8 by 10 inches for sculpture. All media are accepted including oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, pastel, drawing, photography, printmaking, bronze, jewelry, ceramics and glass, as well as mixed media. One reason for the show’s popularity is that in meeting the challenge of creating pieces within the scale limitations, the artists are sometimes forced to create works outside of their traditional format. For collectors of participating artists, this show presents an opportunity to acquire a unique example of the artist’s work.
Visitors to The Brinton 101 marvel over the hundreds of small-scale works by notable Western artists on display and available for purchase in this special annual exhibit.

Several notable artists in the show are also represented in the museum’s permanent collection including Dan Young, Kathryn Mapes Turner, Julie Oriet, Huihan Liu, Jacob Aguiar, Chula Beauregard, JhonDuane Goes In Center, T.D. Kelsey, Gerald A. Shippen and others.
“Attendees will find a diverse selection of subject matter as well as a wide variety of artistic styles, which is what makes this exhibition both appealing and fun,” says curator of exhibitions, Barbara McNab. “Small works shows offer collectors of all walks of life and interests an opportunity to purchase fine art in an affordable price range. Our members and patrons look forward to this exhibit which is one of our more popular fundraisers for the institution.”
