440 Gallery Presents: The Fifth Annual Small Works Show

December 3, 2009 — January 10, 2010

Opening Reception: Thursday, December 3, 2009 6-9 pm

440 Gallery presents the Fifth Small Works Show beginning Thursday December 3 at 440 Sixth Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. This annual juried exhibition features the work of artists from all over the country, but with the majority of the participants from Brooklyn. All work is 12 inches or smaller and of a great variety of media and styles, including painting, photography, sculpture, collage, printmaking and mixed media.

The juror for the show is Charles Long, internationally exhibited artist with work included in the Whitney Biennial, New York's Museum of Modern Art, MCA Chicago, Museo de Arte Moderno Mexico City, Mori Art Museum Tokyo, the Hirshorn in Washington and more. Long is represented in New York by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery and is the recipient of many awards, grants and fellowships. He has taught at the California Institute of the Arts, Art Center College of Art and Design, Otis College of Art and Design and Harvard University.

For this year's Small Works Show, 440 Gallery will exhibit many excellent works of art (anywhere from 50 to 100 pieces) for very reasonable prices. Unlike the usual gallery practice, clients will have the option to take the artwork before the close of the show for timely gift giving during the holiday season.
