Holiday Small Works 2025: Merit Awards

By Olivia Hoagland on December 16, 2025

Are you still looking for the perfect gift for your loved ones this holiday season? Look no further! As the holiday season unfolds, Co|So welcomes art lovers and gift-seekers alike to its annual Holiday Small Works exhibition, running November 1 through December 21, 2025. On view in both the Upper and Lower Galleries, this year’s show features over 350 small-scale artworks by Co|So’s membership. Each year, the Holiday Small Works is one of Co|So’s most eagerly anticipated events due to the vibrant works our artists showcase and the fact that if you purchase a piece, you can walk out with it that same day!

Alongside the vibrant display of art, a handful of pieces stood out to the Art Committee, earning Awards of Merit. These awards bring attention to standout pieces among hundreds, highlighting their use of color, technical skill, and more.

The 2025 Holiday Small Works Show is a reminder of what makes Co|So special: a community of dedicated, talented artists creating meaningful work, and making art accessible. The Merit Award winners represent just a small piece of the rich creativity on display, but they offer a great starting point for collectors, holiday gifters, or anyone who wants a small, powerful piece of art for home.
