Mighty Tieton is an entrepreneurial venture of urban and rural designers, architects, artists, and creative individuals, working in the Central Washington town of Tieton, fifteen miles west of Yakima. Several artisan businesses have started under the Mighty Tieton banner, including a fine press and bindery, a printmaking studio and press, a goat cheese creamery, a cidery and gift-fruit business, a kite production facility, book warehousing, event spaces, rental cabins for short visits and longer residencies, and several artist's studios.

Mighty Tieton is sponsoring its first juried art exhibition. Tieton is a small town with big ambitions, and so this year's theme is "Small is big." Each artwork is no larger than 10" x 10" x 10" including frame or case. All visual media including architectural models, letterpress printing, crafts, photography, paintings, books, sculpture, prints, whatever. No geographic limit. Jurors were Ed Marquand of Marquand Books, Gail Gibson of Gail Gibson Gallery, and Greg Kucera of Greg Kucera Gallery.
