It's A Small World

It's A Small World is an exhibit celebrating the work of artists who create on a small scale. Whether painting on the head of a pin or on a grain of rice, sculpting miniature animals or a famous landmark out of pencil lead, whether an origami unicorn or dollhouse furnishings, all artists who work in small scale are encouraged to apply. This exhibit is open to artists nationwide.
