Small Works National Juried Exhibition

About this call

Buckham Gallery in Flint, Michigan, United States, invites artists to submit small work for Small Works, a national open call for visual art in any traditional or non-traditional media. Original works no larger than 12 inches in any dimension are eligible, and all subjects, themes, media and approaches will be considered. The exhibition runs January 9 to 30, 2027 at Buckham Gallery. Founded in 1984, Buckham Fine Arts Project is a non-profit organization, and it gives each selected artist a $50 stipend toward shipping costs.

Who can apply

• United States only
• Medium: Mixed Media / Painting / Drawing / Sculpture / Photography / Printmaking
• Entry fee: $25
• Artists must be 18 or older and a resident of the USA. Each artist may submit 1 to 3 works for a $25 nonrefundable entry fee, paid by credit card or PayPal through a link in the confirmation message after the form is submitted; Buckham Arts Collective members may apply fee-free but do not receive the $50 shipping stipend. All media are accepted, 2D and 3D. Works must be original and no larger than 12 inches in any dimension, including mats and frames; no reproductions or AI-created works. All artists are notified by December 5, 2026. Selected artists complete a consignment agreement and are responsible for packing, shipping and return shipping, or in-person drop-off and pick-up; selected works must be received December 16 to 22, 2026. The stipend check is mailed once the work is received in good condition, within five business days of the opening. The gallery's presentation guidelines ask that all work be labeled with name, title, medium and price, that 2D work arrive ready to hang, that works on paper with a paper mat have glass or plexiglas, and that shipped work come in easily reusable packaging; works not claimed within 30 days of the end of the exhibit become property of Buckham Gallery. Artwork may be for sale but need not be; artists set retail prices and Buckham Gallery retains a 35% commission on sold work (65% to the artist).
