Maria Torres · Union County Life
The Westfield Memorial Library is hosting the Small Art Big Impact exhibition presented by the Westfield Art Association. The special gallery showcase features diminutive pieces created by 31 individual members of the local arts group.
A public closing reception is scheduled for August 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the library facility located at 550 East Broad Street. Visitors can meet the participating artists and enjoy light refreshments during the evening event. Union County Life notes that all featured works measure 12 inches or smaller on each side.
Westfield Art Association President Darrin Owens explained that organizers selected exactly one piece from each artist to maximize community participation. The non profit volunteer organization has provided public art education and exhibitions across the municipality since 1922. The current membership includes abstract and representational artists working in diverse mediums like charcoal, graphite, acrylic, sculpture, jewelry, and digital photography. The group maintains low qualification requirements and free entry to help local artists of all experience levels display their work and build community connections.
