Public announcement:
ArtLife Society's 2009 Annual International Small Works Show
This year's exhibit is cancelled. It is so hard to announce that!
Due to administrative changes we have had to be realistic about the challenges inherent in presenting this exhibit again this year. It has been a most fulfilling eight years of meeting, corresponding and representing so many artists, regionally and worldwide.
I am honored to have interacted with so many artists and to meet so many visitors to the annual exhibit. It has been my complete joy to bring to, and exhibit, wonderful art through the annual Small Works Show for the Fairfield community. I feel I have artistic friends all over the globe!
We will see what comes of this wonderful International Small Works Show for 2010. Hopefully we will pick up right where we left off. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience this is causing anyone.
Thank you for your understanding.
Most sincerely,
Stacey Hurlin
Director,
ArtLife Society
And my really, really great Small Works Show Committee

To Inquiring ArtistsExposure in the Midwest The Annual International Small Works Show, hosted by Emerald Gallery, has proven to be successful on all levels and each year's exhibit sees stronger public appreciation, drawing a sophisticated audience. Fairfield Iowa, town of 10,000, is an arts community in the southeast quadrant of Iowa. Because of its unique international focus, Fairfield is home to more that 300 visual artists, and draws attention from the international artist community. It is a happening place with sophisticated taste.?Find out more about Fairfield Iowa. Find out more about Fairfield Iowa. This exhibit is the Midwest's largest annual exhibit of original work by a representation of international artists. That says something. Artwork Selection Exhibiting in the Small Works Show is by invitation. The range of work included each year represents both emerging and recognized artists and a price range accordingly. The exhibit includes a representation of original works in all mediums and styles. A seven person committee considers participation inquiries from approximately 600 artists. A final invitation list is created. This year 140 artists from around the country will present work. Each year, gallery visitors repeatedly say they love this unique, fresh, and unpretentious exhibit. Artwork specifications All work is original. All work must be framed. Artists are invited to inquire about specifications and other questions for the upcoming exhibit to artlifesociety@gmail.com Invitational Exhibit Preview The Invitational Exhibit Preview (previously called the Corporate Awards Program) was conceived of four years ago. The Preview takes place two evenings before the Opening Reception for the exhibit. The Preview is open to all individuals who commit to a purchase $250 or more in art at the Small Works Show. This gives the participants the opportunity to view the show, amongst a select group of art lovers, before the busy Opening and have the good fortune of being the first to make their selection (s). These privileged viewers get first viewing and first choices and they line up at the door counting the minutes to entry! The program has met with success from the start, further demonstrating the strong support of the arts in the Midwest. Go to Emerald Gallery for more information. The Invitational Exhibit Preview gives immediate validation to the many artists whose work will be purchased even before the Opening of the show. Artists knowing their work is valued is an essential element in ArtLife Society’s mission in presenting the annual showcase. ArtLife Society, also, appreciates the Preview night as it gives the committee a clear gage that, once again, the selection committee created a cohesive, engaging, varied presentation of international work. |
