To the Museum Director: The Miniature Artists of America is an organization to honor the top contemporary professional practitioners of American miniature art. One of the goals of MAA is to encourage national awareness and understanding of Fine Art in miniature. This goal is being obtained by exhibiting contemporary examples of miniature art to the public. Four elegant cases have been prepared to be shown as an educational tool and they contain 35 juried works by 35 Signature artist members. These works have been painted by some of the foremost miniaturists in the United States, England, Canada, and South Africa. It is our wish that these cases be shown in galleries and museums throughout the United States. We will be very pleased if you would exhibit this miniature show in your gallery. You may view the works included in the exhibition at the link below or here: View the Artwork. Exhibit information is as follows: ~ We provide the show to you at no charge. ~ None of the works are for sale. ~ Four cases (21H x 25W x 2¼D inches) will arrive postage paid. ~ Hang the cases with the same care and security that you give your own. ~ Please publicize this exhibit (materials and Press Release provided). ~ Return the cases to their specially built traveling containers.
