November 4 through December 31, 2026 | Art Domestique Gallery, Downtown Washington, Iowa
Small pieces. Big show. We would love to have your work on our walls.
Every year, our Small Works Show fills the gallery with dozens of little treasures from artists across the area, and it lands right in the heart of the holiday season, when visitors are looking for something one of a kind. Whatever your medium, we invite you to be part of it.
