HOUSE OF SMALLS NEWSLETTER! |

Hello my loves, I hope this finds you all well. The Houses and Little Amy are finally in their new home! And I've found my way out of the skips and tips and bins and boxes (both those in actual life and the ones in my head) so I'm sorry that you'll be receiving spates of likes and comments on instagram as I slowly catch up! Likewise with messages and emails. We've had a couple of exciting things over the last month (below) and there are still a few days left for the Confined call - I apologise that this one didn't come out to you prior to it going public, I've been a bit caught up but they will do going forward. I don't look at submissions until the call closes so don't know yet which House will be exhibiting this one...exciting! If you've submitted work thank you so much, I'll be letting everyone know the position with selections by Tuesday next week. Our closest cities are now Oxford and Birmingham and, as ever, if anyone has any arts contacts in either of them please let me know - I'm always looking for and open to opportunities and collaborations in which to show the exhibitions publicly and to wider audiences. Likewise, if you've been an artist in one of the shows and have an event (solo exhibition/open studio day etc) that you'd like sharing on the House social media, please do let me know or tag the House in any posts. Thank you as always for your wonderful friendship and support, and I'm really pleased to be back. Amy xx |

The House was in Adelaide! It was lovely to be a part of the first World Tiny Art Gallery Day alongside nine other brilliant little projects from around the globe. Thank you so much to founders, Sarah and Matt from Gallery Flaneur, for including the House 💛 (This first exhibition was held in the northern section of Gawler Place, Adelaide, and was supported by the City of Adelaide, the State Government of South Australia and Adelaide Economic Development Agency as part of ADL Unleashed). |
