Red Cloud Opera House Hosts Tiny Art Market
Inspired by our visits to other galleries across the country, the Red Cloud Opera House is excited to launch the inaugural Tiny Art Market! Our team envisions this exhibit as a place where patrons can discover new artists, encounter both beauty and whimsy, and make local art a part of their daily lives and holiday traditions. We hope to make Tiny Art Market a fun and approachable show that features tiny pieces from familiar names and brand new artists!
