(12.23) The Providence Art Club is open every day through December 23 for their annual ‘Little Pictures Sale.’ Works include paintings, drawings, photographs, collages, along with sculpture, ceramics, glass, and jewelry by over 100 artists, all members of the Providence Art Club. All works are sized at 16” x 16” or less and priced at no more than $300.
First held in 1904, the Little Pictures Show & Sale is the oldest and largest exhibition of its kind in the United States. This year, the beloved tradition turns 115 and continues to be a strong source of pride for the historic Providence Art Club.
Sales are “cash and carry,” meaning purchased works may be taken home immediately. New works then replace works that have been sold. This results in a constantly changing exhibition of local, affordable artwork.
Daily through December 23, noon to 5pm, Providence Art Club, 11 Thomas Street, (directions)
Below is that clubby area just up from the Maxwell Mays Gallery. Antique and vintage toys and books have been dotted around the room. (Love the beat-up leather couch.)
