At Tamarack Marketplace, great things often come in small packages, and our latest exhibition proves it! “Small Packages” is back, showcasing a collection of stunning artworks that may be petite in size but are monumental in creativity. 

This beloved exhibition has delighted visitors for the last few years, and just in time for the gift-giving season, these compact treasures are ready to inspire and impress once again. From finely detailed paintings to delicate mixed-media pieces, each creation reflects the imagination and skill of West Virginia artists, who have taken the challenge of small-scale work and turned it into an opportunity for extraordinary expression. 

Perfect for the holidays, “Small Packages” offers more than just beautiful art. It’s a chance to give a gift that truly stands out. These unique pieces are ideal for art lovers, collectors, or anyone looking to bring a touch of West Virginia into their home. 

As you explore the exhibition, you’ll see how each artist embraces the intimacy of smaller works, packing intricate details, vibrant color, and heartfelt storytelling into every inch. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful creations come in the tiniest forms. 

Gretchen Carr, Gallery Manager shared, “This is our holiday show to spread festive cheer; everything is under a square foot in size to fit under the tree this year. Come with great joy and good tidings, you may find a special something in our show that’s hiding.” 

Whether you’re shopping for someone special or treating yourself, “Small Packages” is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of West Virginia art. Stop by Tamarack Marketplace and experience how small can truly be spectacular this holiday season. 

Small Packages is on display from November 14 – January 3. Our Virtual Gallery is coming soon for those who can’t make it out to see this exhibition in person.
