The Morini Gallery at Mass Arts Center is excited to present its Annual Holiday Season “Small Works” Exhibition, a showcase of small-scale 2D art, including photography. Every piece in this juried collection is no larger than 20 inches (including any framing), making them ideal for holiday gifting.

This highly anticipated exhibition draws visitors from across the community and will be featured through two theater productions and children’s recitals, meaning the artwork sells quickly. In support of our talented local artists, we’re offering the “Juried Next Tier” (JNT) selection—a unique opportunity to keep the gallery filled with fresh works throughout the season.
