Mini Masterpiece Exhibition

Remarkable art comes in all shapes and sizes, but 3” x 3” is all that’s needed for the Hoyt’s 6th Annual Mini Masterpiece competition!

Back by popular demand, this playful competition invited artists of all ages and experience levels to compete for prizes and a chance to join the museum’s growing collection of miniatures.

“Participants explore art history to choose their subject, challenge themselves creatively to translate their vision onto a tiny canvas, and become part of a shared community experience,” said Kimberly Koller-Jones, Executive Director.

Winners

Winning submissions will be displayed alongside last year’s winners to create a compelling recreation exhibit, featured alongside the Hoyt’s Annual Regional Juried Exhibition.
