Watch
As is mentioned in the information above, this is the largest miniature art show in the world- And is not to be missed by ANYONE interested in Minaiture art! While opening weekend is probably the best time to visit for an artist, get there whenever and however you can, seeing the show is quite an experience.
Visiting this show was how I became interested in Miniatures in the first place, and it continues to amaze me each year. I entered it for the first time last year, and am looking forward to entering again this year. |
