The Mini World: Small Works of Art exhibit opening reception

Del Ray Artisans presents The Mini World: Small Works of Art, an art exhibit showcasing tiny art by artist members. Step into this miniature world and discover the joy of life’s little things. We invite you to experience the power of small, where each piece tells a story and proves that art knows no size limits.

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, November 7 between 7-9pm to meet curators Betsy Jones, Kellie Sansone, and Mallory Henig and the artists. Mark your calendar now or set a reminder through Eventbrite (select the "Reserve a spot" button on this page - tickets are not required to attend).
