CACAO?

Clearly, whomever coined the phrase less is more could not have been referring to any form of chocolate.  I’ve heard of moderation.  I understand moderation.  I have experimented with moderation.  I do, begrudgingly, limit my consumption of lots and lots of things, from alcohol to lard and many processed foods–just not chocolate.  This next call for miniature art entries subscribes to the theory that less is more.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Parklane Gallery for the 19th Annual International Juried Miniature Show.  And this year there is a new category–3 dimensional art!

CALL for ENTRIES:
19th Annual International Juried Miniature Show

Learn more about the Miniature Show at the Parklane Gallery!Parklane Gallery in Kirkland, WA welcomes miniature artists from across the country and around the world to enter their 19th Annual International Miniature Show, May 3 – June 5.

ELIGIBILITY:  Entries are admitted to the show following strict adherence to the international definition of miniature art:

1. Miniature paintings and sculptures are fine art on a small scale with minute attention to detail which can be enlarged or withstand close inspection without revealing any faults.

2. A representational subject should be no larger than 1/6th of its actual size. Subjects too small for portrayal in 1/6th or smaller than their actual size, may meet the spirit of a miniature if the work meets the above definition of miniature art. Non-representational work such as abstracts or surrealism may meet the spirit of a miniature if all other factors in the definition of a miniature are met.

3. Image size not to exceed 25 square inches (161cm). Sculptures may not exceed 8 inches (20.5cm) in any dimension, including the base.
