2023 Solo Shows at the Micro Gallery – Angelica Kauffman Gallery
I run the Angelica Kauffman Gallery, a group of 12″ x 16″ and 12×12 box galleries (and a wine crate, and two dollhouses…)
There are openings for solo shows in 2023. Each solo show is posted about for two weeks on the gallery’s Instagram and also archived on my blog. I also interview each artist and do Instagram posts and a blog post with their headshot or picture of them working.
I’d also be delighted to have a guest curator create a group show on a theme! Feel free to use the contact form if you’d like to talk about that.
Here’s how to share your ideas for your solo show:

How do Sales Work in the Micro Gallery?
Why no fees or commissions? No fees because it’s a bad business model to make money off of fees charged to artists. I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the art world.
Clocking in for Unpaid Labor Public Participation Art Project
The second opportunity is to be in a show of the timecards. I’m running a public participation art project about unpaid labor, involving art on time cards. Details here:
https://www.elainelutherart.com/call-for-art-unpaid-labor
This is an on-going project where the finished cards are shared on Instagram and also go on public display. Currently talking with a suburban Chicago library that has really nice display spaces. We’re also now offering workshops where folks can come together to talk about the role of unpaid labor in their lives and work on their time cards. Please contact me if you’d like to book a workshop. I’m also working on a lesson plan, to allow people anywhere to host their own time card making workshop! (See, I’ve said it publicly, now I have to get it done.)
In the call, I suggest that you complete and mail back your card within 30 days of receiving it. But the project in general is on-going and open ended.
The cards that had been received to date at the time of my solo show in May, were displayed along with my art in a show about labor. I continue to pitch exhibitions of the time cards, either as a stand-alone, or as part of a show of my art. Want to bring a show of the time cards to your gallery, library, or other space? Please click Contact Us above and use the contact form to let me know!
Update – Show of the Time Cards Announced!
I’m excited to announce that the time cards will be on display in this lobby display case at the <strong>Orland Park Public Library</strong>, in Orland Park, Illinois, for January and February of 2023. We’re making custom easels so that the time cards will stand up for this display, and any future displays.
If you want to be in a show and need a deadline to get motivated, now you have one! Deadline is December 15, 2022 to be in this show. It’s a large space, but we could run out of room, so do send in your Business Sized, Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope to get a free time card! And remember that the little bill paying envelopes that come inside your bills are too small to hold a time card.
Send your SASE to:

: ) Yes! Right up our alleys!
Thanks so much!
Yay! Another exciting tiny thing!
