The Little Show at Cedarburg Ceultural Center

From Kathleen Sweeney, Cedarburg, WI 

 I was recently was juried into The Little Show at the 

Cedarburg Cultural Center (Cedarburg WI) which will be up through Jan 17th. 

Artists in a variety of medium present 5 works no larger than 25 square inches in 
size. It is a cash & carry show and I have already sold and replaced one 
piece. 
Its quite challenging to miniaturize one's own body of work!

Anyone making the trip to Cedarburg in the next month should definitely 
see The Littles at the CCC and also the Insects to Animals exhibit at 
the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts
