235: Our Biggest (Smallest) Annual Show

November 12th, 2023

What originally began as a celebration of our relocation to Whitefish from nearby Bigfork has evolved into the highlight of FoR Fine Art’s annual event calendar. The 235 Smaller Works Show brings a diverse range of styles, subject matters, and mediums to the Whitefish art scene from artists throughout the U.S. and Canada.

A gallery with white walls and warm wood flooring with many small pieces of artwork hung along the wall. A holiday garland decorates a ledge above the artwork and sculptures stand on pedestals around the room.

Rather than having a selected theme, the 235 show’s only requirement is that artwork measure under 235 square inches in size, a nod to our Whitefish gallery address. This year’s show includes over one hundred pieces—including two- and three-dimensional work—ranging from traditional oil landscapes to wildlife compositions to bold mixed media pieces!

Whether you're looking for a special gift, the perfect addition to your collection, or falling in love with a piece of art for the first time, this show is for you!
