A Members’ Only Exhibition
64 Square Inches
On view November 5 – December 27
This is an open show — no theme, no jury. Bring your vision to 64 Square Inches and see what happens.
Railroad Street Artworks invites all member artists to participate in 64 Square Inches, a member-exclusive small works exhibition. Every participating artist is guaranteed wall space, and all work will be offered for sale at accessible prices — making this show a perfect destination for holiday gift-giving.
The concept is simple: one surface, 64 square inches, and whatever you want to create.
Working small is its own kind of creative challenge. A limited canvas asks you to distill — to find the essential gesture, color, or moment and commit to it without the room to hedge. What would you make if you had exactly 8 inches by 8 inches and nothing more? A landscape compressed to its horizon line. A still life reduced to one perfect object. An abstraction that fills every corner with intention. A gift someone will hang on their wall for years.

Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
8×8×1.5 inch gallery-wrapped canvas will be available from Railroad Street Artworks for $8 each and are in the POS system for purchase.
All canvases will come with a pre-attached sawtooth hanger and will not need to be wired for this exhibit.
Optional cradled artboard
Artists working in media not compatible with canvas (watercolor, pastel, charcoal, etc.) may use cradled wood panels of the same 8×8×1.5 inch dimensions, purchased independently.
Railroad Street Artworks will attach a sawtooth hanger to the back to match the same position.
How to Participate
Pre-registration is required. Before dropping off your work, complete the online registration form or email the information to Nancy at nancy@nancymurty.com. Railroad Street Artworks will generate all wall labels for this exhibit. You may fill out the form multiple times for different artworks.
A Note on Wall Management
The exhibition wall will be arranged and managed exclusively by the Special Events Committee throughout the run of the show. This ensures a cohesive, professional presentation from opening day through closing.
Every participating artist will have artwork on the wall. Additional submitted artworks will be held in reserve and rotated in as works sell — keeping the display full and looking its best. Artists are welcome to bring additional artworks in after the October deadline if sales are strong and space allows.
