Display your artistic talents and support the library at our Tiny Art Show & Silent Auction fundraiser! Pick up a 4″ x 4″ canvas at the library and create a mini masterpiece at home. A limited number of canvases will be available for pickup starting Tuesday, February 24.

Return your finished work of art by Tuesday, March 24, to be included in our Tiny Art Show and Silent Auction fundraiser. Submissions should be family-friendly. All ages and abilities are welcome to participate!

One canvas per person or group.

You can work on artwork solo or in a group with friends or family members.

The title and subject of the work must be family-friendly.

There is no age or residency requirement for submitting artists.

Draw an arrow on the back of the canvas to indicate the top of your piece (i.e. This side up).

Submissions must be on supplied 4×4” canvases. Use any supplies you would like to create your masterpiece, as long as they are attached to the provided canvas (paint, paper, felt, thread, crayon, glass, — anything but food!).

Staff reserves the right to reject any canvases that do not follow these rules!

By submitting your art, you agree to allow Burnham Library to display, photograph, and promote your work in print, in person, and online.
