Twenty-nine years ago - at a time when it seemed paintings were becoming ever larger and quality could only come in big packages - Angela Flowers had just had a show entitled 'This Room is Not Small Enough For a Big Painting'. It was around this time that the concept of 'Small is Beautiful' was realised. Chosen artists would be invited to exhibit work in any medium, the only restriction being the size limit of 7 x 9 inches. Proof of its success is that it is still going strong after so many years. One of it's strengths is the breadth of the selection - committed artists from graduating students to the most successful and eminent produce work, some years to a specific theme other years not but the result has always been a vibrant and exciting exhibition.
