Often it is the small things in life that can have a lasting impact. A kind word, a bit of inspiration that uplifts us or something that brings a smile to our hearts. In this spirit, we are celebrating small works of art with December’s "Good Things Do Come in Small Packages" exhibit. These pieces have been created by our Gallery Artists in a range of styles and mediums including paintings, sculpture & kaleidoscopes. You'll find pieces that are lovely, surprising, fun, poignant, colorful and more.

Please click on any piece below to see the full body of work by that artist. Explore our website to find additional small, medium and large works or contact us and we will happily send you links to more pieces in this fascinating, uplifting and extensive exhibit. We love sharing stories about the art, medium, techniques, inspiration and artists.

We also love being a part of gifts and surprises for your loved ones. If you would like something for the holidays, please contact us now so we may deliver or ship in time. Unsure of what to give? Consider a gift certificate to let your loved ones pick their special gift.

When you collect from us, it gives to many. A portion of every art purchase during this exhibition will be donated by our gallery to the Verde Valley Sanctuary, which offers safe haven and support for victims of domestic violence. Please visit VerdeValleySanctuary.org to learn more. Additionally, some of our artists donate a portion of their sales to charities as noted below.

We are counting our blessings and you are among them. We are grateful for our family of artists, collectors, patrons and community that support the Living Arts and bring so much to the world through art.

With sincere appreciation,

Linda Goldenstein
