We are thrilled to announce The Lavender Brush, an all-new miniature painting competition launching in partnership with Monument Hobbies as a part of the Meeple-a-thon tabletop convention. Taking place November 14-16, 2025, at the Overland Park Convention Center, this premier event invites painters of all skill levels to showcase their artistry while supporting an incredible cause.
The Lavender Brush has been established in memory of our dear friend Michelle Farnsworth and her love of miniature painting and the miniature painting community. Michelles battle against cancer came to an end in 2024; her wish was that any proceeds raised in her name directly benefit the Children’s Miracle Network program, Extra Life. Meeple-a-thon and The Lavender Brush are committed to honoring Michelles wishes, all funds raised will go towards furthering the Extra Life mission to support groundbreaking cancer research and life-saving clinical trials at Children’s Miracle Network member hospitals.
Join us for a weekend of creativity, community, and support for the sick children within our communities. Whether you’re competing for glory, admiring the work of fellow artists, or simply supporting a meaningful cause, The Lavender Brush promises to be an unforgettable celebration of miniature artistry with a purpose.
