The Miniature Art Society of Florida (MASF) celebrates its fifty-first year with a spectacular exhibition of more than 500 exquisite miniature works from around the globe and more than 100 miniatures from the Society’s permanent collection. Continuing its annual tradition of presenting one of today’s foremost international exhibitions of contemporary miniature art, the 51st International Miniature Art Exhibition will be on display at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art from January 18th through February 15th, 2026.
This is one of the most anticipated shows in the Tampa Bay area each year. Visitors will be amazed by the delicate refinement and exquisite details within these tiny masterpieces. There will be paintings, fired porcelain, pastel, colored pencil, and sculptures – which include works created by some of the world’s finest miniature artists. Since entries come from 21 states and 6 countries, the show provides a wonderful diversity of subject matter, media, and frames.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition, visitors can talk to and observe artists while they demonstrate their techniques including oil painting, scrimshaw, drawing, sculpture and more. Many artists create their work under magnification, using a variety of mediums and methods and the tiniest of brushes for paintings. Demonstrators may come from as far away as England, Canada, and across the United States and Florida. This year, members of the MASF are offering miniature art workshops during the run of the show.
