Small Canvas Big Impact

About Small Canvas Big Impact

The Huntington Arts Council believes that the arts have the power to impact our lives on every scale. This year we are inviting artists to participate in Small Canvas Big Impact. This unique fundraiser supports our mission of enriching the quality of life of long islanders with programs and services that address the needs and interests of artists, cultural organizations, and the community. Join us in making a difference, one tiny canvas at a time!

Small Canvas Big Impact will comprise 10”x 10” canvases adorned by artists throughout our community. In a culminating ticketed holiday event, attendees will have the opportunity to take these pieces home an original piece of work of their choice.
