Inspired by an artistic practice that span centuries, A Journey in Miniature celebrates the enduring allure of small-scale art—from the illuminated manuscripts of the medieval world to the intimate portrait miniatures of the Romantic era, and into the vibrant diversity of contemporary practice.
Presented by the Australian Society of Miniature Art, this exhibition brings together an extraordinary range of works that demonstrate the precision, skill and imagination demanded by the form. Working within the discipline of scale—where every detail is heightened and nothing can be overlooked, artists explore subjects limited only by their imagination, across painting, drawing, printmaking and mixed media.
About the Australian Society of Miniature Art (AMSA)
The Australian Society of Miniature Art (NSW) Inc. was founded in 1985 when there was a growing worldwide renaissance of miniature art and interest in its contemporary expression.
One of the aims of the society is to introduce the viewing public to the background of the field and show the development of the miniature and its place in today’s world. Many of the artists are professionals of long-standing who reside Australia-wide.
ASMA has held an Annual National Awards exhibition for over 20 years, which is open to any Australian artist working in miniature.
