The line started forming on Thursday for “Tiny Trifecta,” Cotton Candy Machine’s third annual “tiny group show,” which opens on Saturday night at 7:00 (with preregistration beginning at 4:00). The exhibition features three small works of art apiece by more than eighty artists, each miniature drawing, painting, or sculpture available for a flat one hundred bucks on a first-come, first served basis — hence the line. The participating artists include many whose work sells for a whole lot more than a C-note, so this really is one heckuva great deal. Among those who will be selling a trio of very small works are Heather Benjamin, Victor Castillo, Becky Cloonan, Ron English, Gris Grimly, David Mack, Buff Monster, Martha Rich, Souther Salazar, Jeff Soto, Diana Sudyka, and Tara McPherson, who co-owns Cotton Candy Machine with Sean Leonard. You can preview many of the works online here; there’s a limit of two pieces of art per customer, and we’re telling you now to keep your hands off those Scrabble-tile superheroes, because they’re ours.
