TINY PIKASSO
Smallest gallery. Biggest heart (and maybe a slightly cramped fire code).
Tiny Pikasso was created as a fun way to share art with our community. Open 24/7, 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.
"SPOOKED"
The Tiny Pikasso Gallery is back inside the whimsical tiny pink house with a spine-tingling new exhibit that proves size doesn't matter: "Spooked."
This show takes a playful, punchy dive into what makes our skin crawl. From lurking shadows and creeping spiders to unseen phantoms and deep-sea predators, artist Jamie Schwartz captures life’s biggest frights in an intimate collection of small-but-mighty works.
The exhibition runs from Sept 1st to Nov 1st. Open 24/7 @ 333 2nd Street SE in the Tiny Pink House.
Past Exhibits
Just because a show has closed its tiny pink doors doesn’t mean the magic is gone. Browse our past exhibits and revisit the small-but-mighty collections, big ideas, and community creations that have filled the Tiny Pikasso gallery walls.
Artist Statement
The transition into autumn has always felt like a comforting embrace—a season rich with dark evenings, flickering lights, and quiet coziness. But it is also a time when shadows grow longer and the things that scare us come out to play. In creating "Spooked," I found myself reflecting on the fears we all share and the pressure we feel to always meet them with unwavering courage. Sometimes, being brave is hard work. By painting the monsters, predators, and phantoms of our minds on a tiny scale, I wanted to create a safe, whimsical space where we can acknowledge our fears without letting them overwhelm us.
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 On Our Own of Charlottesville. This is a local peer-run mental health recovery center located in downtown Charlottesville. They offer free peer support, daily mutual-support groups, and a drop-in safe space for individuals working through mental health and emotional struggles.
