“PETITE MOMENTS”
An International Juried Miniature Art Competition
GALLERY 50, Inc. invites you to submit 2-D miniature art works with cash awards being presented for
Best of Show, 1st Prize, 2nd Prize, 3rd Prize and Honorable Mention for our upcoming show, “Petite Moments.”
REQUIREMENTS: Miniature paintings and sculptures are fine art on a small scale, with minute attention to detail,
which can withstand close inspection or enlargement. As a guideline (not a rule) for a general definition of small
scale, a subject should be no larger than 1/6 th actual size. (Example: A human head is about 9 inches so the painted
head should be no larger than 1½".) Surface of ARTWORK not to exceed 24" (all sides added together must be 24"
or less EXCLUDING frame - Example: if your actual piece is 5" x 7", then 5" + 5" + 7" + 7" = 24"). Sculpture
should fit inside an 8"x 8" x 8" cube including the base. Non-representational work (abstracts) may meet the spirit of
a miniature if the work meets the above definition of miniature. Original artwork only accepted all mediums except
photography. Artists may submit up to 3 works for a non-refundable entry fee of $25 with additional pieces submitted at
$5 each and with a limit of 6 works total per artist. All entries must be ready to install - framed (or edges painted) and
wired to hang (no zigzag hangers). Paint must be dry at the time of drop-off. Gallery 50 reserves the right to reject
work that requires an inordinate amount of difficulty in handling or does not meet the requirements as stated above.
