The hugely anticipated annual “Small Works: $100 & Under” continues at Fountain House Gallery through December 21. Showcasing the delightfully diverse aesthetics of the multigenerational Fountain House community, it features dozens of enticing works sized no larger than 6 x 6 inches.
The series of beautifully haunting portraits featured above in mini mantra boxes were fashioned by the wonderfully inventive Madeleine Hope Arthurs. Images of several more artworks on view last week at Fountain House Gallery.
