(2023's small works show was so popular, we are bringing this back!) This exhibition is open to artists who work in any medium, so long as the finished piece is no larger than 12" in either direction (including any framing for 2-D work). ArtsQuest is partnering with Lafayette College in Easton, PA to bring our Compendium exhibition to the Grossman Gallery space.

The annual Compendium exhibitions are designed to highlight the thriving art community of the Lehigh Valley and region and to showcase the diverse array of multidisciplinary artists who reside there.
