TINY PIKASSO
Smallest gallery. Biggest heart (and maybe a slightly cramped fire code).
Opening in December 2025, Tiny Pikasso was created as a fun way to share art with our community 24/7. With no specific hours, the art on exhibit is displayed and shared for all to enjoy. A portion of the proceeds from each exhibit will support community efforts that coincide with the cultural direction of the show.
Anytime, Anywhere
HOME
by jamie schwartz
The Tiny Pikasso Gallery is thrilled to open its doors (in the whimsical tiny pink house!) with an exhibit that proves size doesn't matter: "Home."
This show is a collaborative exploration: Artist Jamie Schwartz gathered diverse definitions of "home" from various individuals and translated those immense, emotional ideas into this collection of small-but-mighty works.
The exhibition runs from December 5 to January 21, 2026, with a special opening reception on Friday, December 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. The artist will be present during the opening evening to chat with visitors about the exhibit.
"We invite you to look beyond the canvas. As you view these works, take a moment to reflect on your own evolving idea of home. Imagine translating that deeply personal feeling into a physical depiction. May the result, even for a moment, serve as a powerful reminder of your safety, familiarity, and belonging in this world. ~Jamie
Rider
Her grandfather owned a small campground property. She grew up playing in the playground on site. When the park was sold and the play area demolished, she kept the Easy Rider metal duck.

Unteathered
With aging comes uncertainty. Uncertainty in the immediate and fear of the future. This was described as a feeling of being "untethered." But like a lighthouse, the way is shown for those who seek to follow.

Carousel
In the middle of New York City, there was a small historic carousel. The carousel is near the center of Forest Park, a 500-acre park within the New York City borough of Queens. "Growing up this was across the street from my house. My very own magical carousel."

Mama's Meal
Spatzle and Braised Red Cabbage every Christmas Eve. This was described as her favorite dish that her mother makes. "Wherever we roam, my heart is your home."

Cartwheel
A distinct memory. "My mother doing cartwheels in the yard, with her Bermuda shorts and skinny legs flying. In the 1960's, none of the other mothers would even try."

Moon Cookies
A secret family recipe and a tradition for the holidays. The shape allowed for the crescents to fit perfectly together and they could be re-arranged easily when a cookie was eaten before dessert. Do you have a favorite family recipe?

Long Road Home
Many will walk on the road back "home" from Southern Gaza to the North. The watermelon's simple existence as a common local crop offers a quiet symbol of life and culture persisting amid the ruins.

Mrs. Stahl's
This piece is a direct tribute to the artist's father, whose personal definition of "home" was vividly anchored by Stahl's Knishes in Brighton Beach, New York. For many, a specific, long-standing local eatery becomes a cultural touchstone—a point of familiarity and comfort that transcends physical distance or the passage of time.

Coal Train
The coal train simultaneously linked Appalachian communities to the world via its stations and served as the chief agent of exploitation, moving resources out for external profit. It remains a powerful symbol of the profound sacrifices communities made to power the nation.

Artist Statement
The "Home" exhibit explores the profound shift in defining a home, moving it from a physical structure to an anchoring emotional and sensory experience. Through painting, I translate the feeling of internal stability—that certainty recalled by the scent of a perfume, the sound of a loved one's laugh, or the intuition that 'I am here. I am alive.' These works focus on the deep-rooted connections that tether the soul and offer a sense of safety and belonging. We invite you to explore your own evolving definition of home, knowing that 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Shelter for Help in Emergency (SHE) to ensure every individual has access to a place of peace and safety.
The "Home" art exhibit explores the diverse meanings of a space, from personal sanctuary to basic refuge. To align with this critical theme, 100% of proceeds from the sale of artwork will be donated to the Shelter for Help in Emergency (SHE). Your contribution directly supports their mission to provide a safe, confidential refuge and comprehensive services for victims of domestic violence, affirming the fundamental belief that home must be a place of safety and peace for everyone.
