In November and December, VALISE Artist Collective and Gallery proudly presents the 9th year of the 5 x 5 Show, an island favorite! For this small works show, each artist strives to create 20 small works, and the results often approach 300 small masterpieces. Unlike most art exhibits, every piece is priced the same - $95. Each year, islanders support local artists by adding to their collections and finding one-of-a-kind art for holiday gift-giving.

The annual small works show supports VALISE Artist Collective and Gallery during some of the slow winter months and allows them to exhibit conceptual or experimental work. This year, VALISE has added two more sizes to the small works show, 3”x5” and 5”x7”. The artists exhibiting will include Gregory Burnham, Dot Cherch, Bill Jarcho, Pascale Judet, Rachel LordKenaga, Robert Passig, Jiji Saunders, Sharon Shaver, Hita von Mende, George Wright, and Lenard Yen. 

During November, VALISE Gallery will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 1 to 6 p.m. The opening celebration is First Friday, November 4 from 6 to 9 p.m., and the show may be previewed on Friday afternoon. The show runs through Saturday, December 31.
