Opening Reception | 2 Art Shows: All About Winter / SCNY 114th Annual Thumb-Box


Thumb-box paintings are similar to what most galleries today call small works, cabinet works, or intimate works. What's unique about this exhibition is that as a rotating sale, it is always evolving - once a work is sold, the artist may replace the work with another. As we go into the holiday season, All About Winter will celebrate the spirit of winter and all it encompasses.
