(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Pro Arts presents "All Things Great and Small" Exhibition, curated by PE Pinkman, weekends from October 4-27, 2024 at ART150 Gallery. This is an exciting juried exhibition inviting artists and creators from diverse backgrounds to explore and showcase the concept of scale in their work.

Through this exploration, we hope to foster a greater appreciation for the diversity and complexity of the world around us.
