Hello! This is Faith the intern, writing about CAL’s current exhibit, Tiny Things.
In a world that often seems larger than life, there's something captivating about the miniature. From small sculptures to tiny paintings, 'Tiny Things' at Columbia Art League offers a unique perspective on art and storytelling. The annual exhibit celebrates the beauty and intricacy of small-scale art, inviting you to explore the world in a new light.

As I walked through the gallery, I was immediately drawn to the intricate details of the artwork on display. Each piece invites us to take a closer look, revealing a world of craftsmanship and creativity. From little landscapes to tiny figurines, the artists have captured a sense of wonder and whimsy that captivates the imagination.
My favorite pieces in the exhibit have to be the miniature rooms, each telling its own story. As we peer through tiny windows, we are transported to different times and places, from a nostalgic childhood bedroom to sophisticated table settings. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every object carefully placed to create a sense of realism and depth.

While making my way through the exhibit, I couldn’t help but be struck by the impact of these 'Tiny Things'. In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, these miniature artworks offer a sense of calm and contemplation. They remind us to slow down and appreciate the beauty in the small things, whether that is a delicate flower or a quiet moment of reflection.
Not only did Tiny Things leave me with a sense of awe and inspiration, but it has also reminded me of the power of art to transport us to different worlds and perspectives. It has shown me that even the smallest of things can have a big impact if we take the time to notice them. So next time you're feeling overwhelmed by the world around you, take a moment to appreciate the 'Tiny Things' that make life so beautiful.
