Exhibit Activities


Our annual exhibit would not be possible without the volunteer efforts by our dedicated local MPSGS members, and sometimes friends and family. Our member Receivers of artwork first accept and unpack the works in their homes, then store the packing materials until the unsold works are collected to return to the artists several months later. The works are compiled and organized in one location for the jury and award judging process. All artworks are photographed for our website. And several members hang and takedown the exhibit.

Please visit our exhibit of miniature gems from some of the finest
miniature artists around the world.
