Argyle Fine Art's miniature billboard campaign is a clever marketing tactic that promotes the gallery's annual Pre-Shrunk Show. Unlike most fine art shows, this one celebrates paintings that are smaller in size, appealing to those living in small apartments or consumers seeking a more accessible access point for entering the art market as buyers.
Artists from across Canada are welcomed to submit their work for the show, as long as the pieces are 4" x 5". The campaign shares the same spirit as the show, and features tiny but eye-catching advertisements. In one instance, a miniature billboard sits only a few inches from the ground. It reads "A tiny billboard for a tiny art show."
