Miniatures are jewel-like and detailed, and must be created with sound aesthetic principles. Miniature art has a long history, going back many centuries to the civilizations of China, Egypt and Greece, among many others. Miniature art is relevant in modern times, placing fine original art of national stature within the reach of many collectors.

2. All fine art media are acceptable; no crafts, jewelry, photography, laser prints or computer-generated artwork. Sculpture is welcome.

MACROSCOPE is a gallery exhibit that seeks works of art of any medium, style, or genre, which explore big ideas. This is open to very wide interpretation, and may be descriptive, symbolic, or literal in representing or embodying grand ideas themselves, or the process of considering them.

This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type, style, or media of work to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual, abstract, technical, or experimental. The only criteria is that works must in some way represent or address the stated theme.


ELIGIBILITY
MACROSCOPE is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works of art that address the stated theme. There is no size restriction, other than what can fit through our doors or hang on our walls. (Gallery floor plan). If in doubt about very large works fitting the gallery, contact us to inquire. There is no date restriction.

MEDIA
Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media (2D, 3D, video, etc.). Manifest's carefully assembled juries change from project to project, and have no collective predisposition towards any particular kind or style of art.


ENTRY FEE
$36 for up to three entries submitted. $10 per each additional entry. Fees are non-refundable.
