Frankly Small is back – bigger (literally) and better in 2026!

Last year’s show of small works was so well received we’ve decided to continue the theme into 2026. However – we have decided to increase the size a little this year to a 40cm limit. An open theme will remain with 2D, 3D, Youth and Schools sections.

Small works that have a big impact.

On behalf of the Franklin Arts Festival we would like to extend our gratitude to all our sponsors.
