In Small Measure
In Small Measure is our inaugural fundraising exhibition where we ask participants to create a postcard sized work of art, donate it to us, and in exchange, it will be included in an exhibition on February 13-14, 2026 at The Contemporary Dayton, Dayton, Ohio’s contemporary art center.
Artists of all backgrounds and working in any medium are welcome to participate by creating and donating an original postcard-sized artwork. Submissions may include drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, collage, sculpture, textile, or mixed media, as long as the piece is original and reflects the artist’s hand. Each artwork will be sold anonymously for $100, offering collectors and art lovers alike a chance to take home a unique piece of art while directly supporting The Contemporary Dayton’s exhibitions and programs.
The goal of the event is to raise $10,000 to help sustain the organization’s mission during a particularly challenging time for arts organizations and small nonprofits. All participating artists will receive two complimentary tickets to the Live Sale Event on February 13, 2026 and may purchase discounted Preview Party tickets for $50 per person.
