Collectors we need your help in selecting The Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal Winners as well as the SmallWorks Top 40!

Thank you for taking the time to consider registering as a collector and becoming an intimate member of and participant in the SmallWorks North America Exhibition and Sale 2008.

The Greenwich Workshop is bringing to bear all of our capabilities and influence in order to bring you the finest selection of SmallWorks from the finest artists, The SmallWorks Purse of $10,000 and the opportunity to become a member of The Greenwich Workshop's family of artists are enticements to the artists to provide you with the opportunity to purchase their finest efforts.

By registering as a collector you will also have the opportunity to help us determine the medal winners of the show as well as the direction of our new publishing venture, SmallWorks. Additionally, you will receive email updates on the upcoming show.

It is suggested that collectors register online to purchase SmallWorks during the event. Additionally, arrangements can be made directly with The Greenwich Workshop Gallery at 1-800-243-4260

In all cases, purchases off site will have to be coordinated with the gallery director.

If you have additional questions that are not answered on this page(s) please contact us.

SmallWorks are defined as original works of art that do not exceed 144 square inches, excluding the frame. A SmallWork can be 12" by 12" or 1" by 144". Our open call for entries is extended to artists worldwide. The artists are being invited to enter up to two original works of art. This is a juried show and submission of an entry does not assure selection.

The $10,000 SmallWorks Purse is broken into five (5) categories:

• SmallWorks North America Gold Medal and $5,000 prize
• SmallWorks North America Silver Medal and $2,500 prize
• SmallWorks North America Bronze Medal and $1,500 prize
• The Greenwich Workshop Gallery Director's Award and $500 prize
• The Greenwich Workshop Publisher's Award and $500 prize

None of the prizes listed above are purchase awards and will be granted independently of the sale (or lack thereof) of the individual work. No single work will capture more than one prize.

Submitted entries selected for the SmallWorks North America Exhibition and Sale will be posted on this website by October 1, 2008. Collectors will be reminded of this posting by e-mail.

Collectors will be asked to provide us with their top three selections from the show via the internet between October 1 and November 26, 2008. These selections form the basis of our award program.

The Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals and listed prize(s) will be determined through a combination of collector voting via the internet and judges' recommendations. The Gallery Director's Award and Publisher's Award are merit awards determined by the Gallery Director and Greenwich Workshop Publisher.

The Small Works North America Top 40 will be determined by a combination of collector voting via the internet and judges recommendations. Artists selected for this category will be invited to participate in The Greenwich Workshop's Spring 2009 SmallWorks Fine Art Catalogue.

The Greenwich Workshop Gallery and The Greenwich Workshop recognize the possibility of an artist's pre-existing publishing agreement and does not wish to create a conflict where this is the case, thus the concept of "invited to participate" in our SmallWorks Fine Art Edition Catalogue and publishing program. Previous arrangements shall be honored graciously and will have no bearing on determining the merit of any individual work of art during the selection process, nor of any prize or inclusion in the Top 40.

The Greenwich Workshop Gallery and The Greenwich Workshop reserve the right to disqualify votes that appear to fall outside of acceptable voting patterns.

SmallWorks North America is an exhibition and sale comprised of a maximum of three hundred (300) works of art, with no more than two works from any single artist.

The sale will occur in a "drop box" format. Each selected entry will be assigned a number alphabetically by artist's last name and posted on the website. Intents to Purchase will be collected either by phone, over the website or at the gallery and placed into each box. Phone and internet inquiries will be pre-qualified.

The name of the purchaser will be drawn the evening of the show opening for SmallWorks that have generated Intents to Purchase. SmallWorks unsold the evening of the opening will remain on sale through December 31, 2008. SmallWorks unsold by that date will be returned to the artist in January 2009.
