Another FABULOUS year of MINI art!

 Last Saturday we held our PreShrunk Meet N Greet! 

 

PreShrunk... from spanning four walls at the opening, now shrunk to just one!

It was a wonderful event full of community connection, cheer and CUPCAKES!

Still available PreShrunk soft sculpture "Ruth waits for the 9" by Caroline Skelton posed with "PreShrunk" cupcakes from local baker P4Patisserie.  

It was a fabulous turn out to the event, so many artist, friends, family and even folks just passing by stopped in for the fun! 

Artists' picking each other's brains!

With our 21st year of PreShrunk coming to an end and we can't help but feel so grateful for both the artists who take the time to make work for this massive show (of tiny arts) and this wonderful community who joyfully attends and supports every year.
We couldn't do it with out you, and we wouldn't want to!

 (psst... the PreShrunk show may be coming off the wall but many pieces are still available! Peep the album HERE for little doses of creative love)

 Stay tuned for more marvellous events and artful pop ups coming in March, including a full day of fashion+art+self care THIS SATURDAY, March 1st. Read more about the details over on our NOW SHOWING SECTION of this blog!

 

As always, visit us online at argylefineart.com or in person at the gallery and thanks for reading!
