Tiny Art Show Opens!

The Station, 10 East Chestnut in Merchantville opens its annual TINY ART Exhibition this weekend. The Opening reception is from 6 to 10:00 this Friday night 11/10/23. I cannot recommend the food highly enough at the cafe - during the day, so if you want to stop in and have a bite and see the show during the day, enjoy! It is a wonderful place in so many ways. And it is unique for this side of the Delaware! There may be other galleries, and there may be other healthful food cafe's and restaurants, but here you have BOTH. You can eat a delicious meal, and perk up with a specialty coffee and see the art! If the sun is shining and the weather is mild, you can sit outside and enjoy the autumn beauty as well.

It is my honor and my joy to have six tiny paintings in the show - by tiny I mean 5x7 inches, acrylic on canvas, framed and ready for your wall! All of the subjects are autumn and local beauty spots from the Red Bridge at Knight's Park in Collingswood to the beautiful trees of Audubon Lake!

The first time I truly understood the power of Tiny Art was many years ago when I visited an art exhibition in New York City that featured postcard size paintings of scenic places in Europe. They were done for the tourist trade before the advent of printed postcards and they were exquisite! Ever since, I have been making tiny paintings to capture a feeling from a special place and time in my life as each of my tiny paitings in the show do. I hope you get to see them and enjoy them as well as the other works. All the exhibitions at the Station are wonderful and once you visit, you will go back for each show and for the delicious food!

May your Happy Trails lead you to the Station and you can also enjoy walkng the Rails to Trails just in front where the train used to run.
