The House of Smalls opened its Chipping Campden Gallery on 1 February 2023.The original concept for The House of Smalls was conceived 3 years earlier during the 2020 worldwide lockdowns. Frustrated by the formulaic construct of the virtual galleries which had sprung up in the absence of open venues, and high costs to submit and exhibit work, The House of Smalls founder decided to start her own project. Wanting to somehow create affordable opportunities and a place for connection in isolating times for artists like herself, but with a distinct lack of wall space at home, she instead bought a secondhand dollhouse and after renovating it, establishing a social media presence, and building a website, she finally put out a call for art.Between November 2020 and August 2022, The House of Smalls exhibited 280+ small artworks by 181 women (200 artists in total) on and within its diminutive walls across nine group shows, addressing subjects such as menopause, dependence and addiction, the self, and confinement. Original physical artwork was received from 21 countries.In its big world format, The House of Smalls intends to mirror the original project and remains resolute to its ethos of fairness, inclusivity, and affordability. The Gallery will show large scale solo and themed group exhibitions by predominantly women artists, alongside small scale shows in the dollhouse. As with the original project, artists and their work will be featured daily across social media during exhibitions and added to The House of Smalls Catalogue of Artworks.Amy Oliver is the founder and curator of The House of Smalls. A self-taught conceptual artist and experimental photographer, Amy believes that art should be accessible for everyone. She is passionate about creating opportunities and providing a space for local, UK-wide, and international artists to exhibit diverse and thought-provoking work addressing important, relevant and relatable issues. Amy will be present in the Gallery during opening hours and if you would like to discuss anything please pop in or email <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:info@thehouseofsmalls.art">info@thehouseofsmalls.art</a>.

Cotswolds Friends-  New Volunteers Needed

SNOW ALERT! - with the possibility of snow forecast , if it is heavy - remember that the snow plough just pushes it to the sides of the road - if you do not want your car blocked in - then do not park on the High Street, Sheep Street, Cider Mill Lane, Church Street and Station Road and Back Ends. It would be very helpful if High Street householders and shopkeepers cleared the pavement in front of their properties to reduce the danger particularly elderly. Please could everyone check the level of salt / grit if they happen to be passing a bin and report back to the Town Clerk, thank you.
