"This December marks the 20th year Arts on Douglas has presented the Small Things Considered exhibition,” explains Meghan Martin, Gallery Director. “I am delighted this show continues to be a popular exhibition among our patrons who are looking for one-of-a-kind gifts. I am excited about this year's selection of art which includes a diverse range of styles and subject matter by some of Florida's finest artists.”
For this year's exhibition, Arts on Douglas brings together a dynamic mix of artists, featuring 32 artists represented by the gallery alongside a juried selection of work by guest artists.
