12th Annual National Miniature Exhibition


 

 

Walls &
The miniature show is hanging, and it's an amazing collection of small works. I have seen many of these artists grow in their creative endeavors through the twelve years we have been privileged to see and enjoy having their work in our care. It's always a thrill to see new work each year and to watch our entrants as they become proficient miniaturists.
Walls of art

 

We want to thank our loyal artists who return each year with their beautiful submissions, and to those of you who are first time entrants, I wish you could be here sometime when a juror first sees the hundreds of tiny painting he will have to jury! Most are awe-struck by the ability of artists to express the depth in landscapes, the delicate skin tones in portraits, the strength and character of the human form, and so forth .You just have to see for yourself, if you are not familiar with the beautiful miniature, do come in and check us out, we would love to show you some small wonders.

Not Monday October 15, 2012 as some sources have stated. We did ask that shipped worked be postmarked by October 15, but that was to ensure that we received them all in time to hang and for the juror to review them.
 
Gallery doors will be open for Receiving Friday, Saturday and Sunday the weekend of October 19, 20 and 21st.
 

From Last Year's show
After all the work has been received, we can hang, judge and open the show.
