Exhibition Runs: October 3 – November 7, 2026
The Kolman & Reeb Gallery is excited to announce the third annual The Big Tiny Show, a juried group exhibition showcasing works by artists from across Minnesota.
Established and emerging artists from across our state were asked to submit their most inspiring, controversial, or breathtaking works. The response was remarkable. Minnesota artists are eager to share art that encompasses the state’s seasons, culture, history, and more.
From its inception, Kolman & Reeb Gallery has been committed to supporting Minnesota artists. Now in its third year, The Big Tiny Show continues that commitment by giving artists from across the state an opportunity to share their work with a broader audience. The tremendous response to this year’s juried call for art reflects the enthusiasm of Minnesota artists and the breadth of perspectives they are eager to share.
From tried-and-true oil on canvas to fiber arts and wire sculptures, gallery patrons can expect an inspiring and diverse exhibition. Adopting its name from the guideline that no one piece of art can be larger than 12 inches, The Big Tiny Show involves a variety of subject matter and media. With the varied assortment, the depth of the show has allowed for an innovative and contemporary curation.
“What excites me about this show is the opportunity it provides the Kolman & Reeb Gallery to suspend its usual aesthetic and instead display artwork from a wide variety of Minnesota artists regardless of medium, subject, style,” says Anita Sue Kolman, Kolman & Reeb Gallery co-founder and co-partner.
Jodi Reeb, gallery curator and co-partner, comments, “With this show, Anita and I were eager to open the call to all media types and expressions. The results were overwhelming, and we received a significant response from Minnesota artists interested in showing their work. Our panel of judges was delighted by the superior quality of the art submitted. We’re eager for our patrons to come and view the diverse collection from across Minnesota. Opening the call to all types of media offered a unique experience as the curator.”
All are invited to come and view this interesting blend of styles from emerging and established Artists. All art on display during The Big Tiny Show will be available for purchase.
