Local Artists Go Miniature

About the Reception:

Join The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures for the opening reception of the juried exhibition, Local Artists Go Miniature.

Entertainment and refreshments including wine, beer, and appetizers will be provided.

About the Exhibition:

Fine-scale miniature artists in the collection of The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures create astoundingly small objects inspired by everything from Louis XV’s study at Versailles to an Art Deco bathroom to a tray of chips, salsa, and guacamole. These small versions of full-scale objects invite the viewer to look closer at the world around them in exciting new ways.

What have you always wanted to make in miniature?

The Museum invited artists within a 60-mile radius of Kansas City to submit up to three small visual artworks to be considered for a juried exhibition in the Museum’s newest gallery. 2D and 3D submissions of any media and concept were welcomed, but objects could be no larger than 12x12x12”.

Artists work will be on view from October 26, 2024–June 9, 2025. Artists in the exhibition will also be invited to participate in creating interpretation elements as well as leading makers workshops for the community.
