Expansive small works for these unsettled times

The eleventh annual 10x10x10xTieton opens Saturday, August 8 with tiny art from all over the world! Of course, things will be different this year. Instead of an opening reception, Tieton Arts & Humanities will have an enhanced online exhibit and will allow masked up visitors during regular gallery hours.

TA&H expected a smaller than usual turn out of entries. But, surprise! Art is healing, therapeutic, and what people all over the world, from Bali and Switzerland to right here in the PNW, need during a global pandemic.

Jurors Marina Pacini and Timothy Standring, both nationally recognized curators, reviewed 861 total submissions through a Web-based process. Paring down to just 166 pieces for the show was not an easy process for the jurors, who were both “pleased and impressed with the entrants to this year’s 10x10x10xTieton exhibition.” Their shared “apprehension that the COVID-19 pandemic would have had a negative impact on submissions were quickly allayed. Instead, it appears that quarantine and lockdown provided meaningful time to make art.” Learn more about this year's Jurors: Marina Pacini here and Timothy J. Standring here.

Reflecting upon the selection process as a whole, Pacini and Standiring state that “It is fortunate for viewers of the 2020 10x10x10xTieton that these works represent a telling cross section of the thoughts and feelings of artists grappling with today’s world….Their collective responses prompt us to continue the dialogue within ourselves and with each other, as we ponder how these diminutive works objects unlock prodigious musings—both pleasurable and disturbing—about our existence in these unsettled times.”

10x10x10xTieton features artwork by 136 artists from all over, including Bali, Canada, Switzerland, Alaska, Hawai’i, across the US, and many from right here in the Pacific Northwest. All works are printed in a handbound exhibition catalogue by Marquand Books and made in Tieton at Paper Hammer Studios. Each exhibiting artist receives a free copy and additional copies are available for purchase.

Viewers are invited to attend the virtual opening reception on Saturday, August 8. Juror’s awards will be announced then, and there will be a walkthrough of the exhibition. Visitors can see the exhibition in person (groups of no more than 5 at a time, masking and social distancing required) during regular gallery hours on Fridays from 12 - 3 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am - 3pm, and by appointment through October 11. The full gallery will also be posted online for viewing and purchasing art beginning August 8.
