The Phippen Museum proudly presents the 23rd Annual Miniature Masterpiece Art Show & Sale, a beloved tradition that celebrates some of the finest small-scale Western artwork in the country. More than 60 accomplished artists come together each year to create one original miniature—proof that extraordinary creativity can flourish in the smallest of formats.

These pieces may be tiny in size, but they are full of heart, craftsmanship, and storytelling. From sweeping landscapes and quiet ranch scenes to expressive wildlife and intimate portraits, each miniature offers guests the chance to collect museum-quality artwork at an accessible scale.
