The St. Louis Artists' Guild invites artists to submit work for Small Wonders, a juried exhibition celebrating the power of art on an intimate scale. Open to all media and subject matter, this exhibition embraces the diversity of contemporary artistic practice while challenging artists to work within a compact format.

All submitted artwork must measure 11" x 14" or smaller (frame included), encouraging thoughtful composition, experimentation, and creative problem-solving. From bold statements to quiet observations, this exhibition highlights how compelling ideas can thrive within limited dimensions.

Place and Memory

Juried Gallery

November 20, 2026 - January 2, 2027

Place and Memory invites viewers to reflect on the spaces that shaped them, the homes left behind, the streets renamed, and the landscapes altered, and to consider how memory functions as both preservation and transformation. In the tension between fragility and endurance, the exhibition suggests that place lives not only in geography but also in the shifting architecture of remembrance.
