OSWOA is an acronym for Original Small Work Of Art.  Pronunciation is a bit tricky, but after using the term for quite awhile I've determined that the best pronunciation is OS (like in toss) and WUH.  Put it together and you are saying OS-WUH with the accent on the OS.  

An OSWOA must be an original work of art (no prints) that measures 6" x 4" or 4" x 6" and fits into a standard 4x6 or 6x4 photo album sleeve.   If OSWOAs are to be listed on Ebay, they have to be started at 9.95 or above. 

The idea behind the OSWOA movement is to help create a market for collecting and reselling these diminutive artworks!   An active OSWOA art market will give artists an outlet for selling their works while giving art collectors and speculators an increasingly large base of quality works in which to invest.

Although at the moment there are no examples of this form in my galleries, that will change shortly.
