2 LITTLE is the ArtisTTable's second annual exhibition in a brick and mortar setting. It is an all media, international exhibition with an open theme. 2D, 3D and photography are welcome. Just like last year while this is an exhibition where anything goes except that we limit the size of the art to 15" (38cm) on the longest side. It is great to be back in Grand Rapids, Michigan for this exhibition. Grand Rapids is often referred to as Calder City, because of the major Calder sculpture, La Grande Vitesse, in the city square. Grand Rapids has stepped on to the art world's stage in the last few years, in large part do to ArtPrize. Richard App has been a creative cutting edge influence in ArtPrize and the transformation of Grand Rapids into a Midwest art destination. This exhibition will continue the ArtisTTable tradition of celebrating art and artist's from around the world. The opening will be held on the eve of Grand Rapids 47th Festival of the Arts. New this year, 2LITTLE will be simultaneously exhibited on the ArtisTTable's website.
