The Sweetest Little Thing

The Sweetest Little Thing is the most important annual fundraising event for the Owens Art Gallery and Struts Gallery. Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting programming at both galleries. This event is made possible by the generosity of local, national, and internationally recognized artists who have established connections with our galleries and who are part of our community.

In the lobby of the Owens Art Gallery, a group of smiling adults gather together in front of a backdrop decorated with red fabric, streamers, balloons, and plastic flowers. Three adults stand while three sit in front, holding a large white stuffed tiger. A photographer stands before them, ready to capture their photo using a Polaroid camera.
A long table displaying several elaborately decorated cakes on a red table cloth. A crowd of people of all ages mingle together in the gallery space behind the table.
An adult leans to write on a sheet of paper beneath an artwork. The pink and white felt patch with the word “Oh,” printed on it, is one of many small artworks displayed in a horizontal row on a wall.
Two adults, both wearing red jackets, hold hands and smile in front of wall text that reads "The Sweetest Little Thing" written in several different fonts.
