Miniatures Show & Sale

The Millicent Rogers Museum proudly hosts the annual Miniatures Show & Sale, a community tradition that celebrates the remarkable creativity of artists from Northern New Mexico. Each year, local artists submit small-scale artworks across a wide range of mediums, creating an exhibition that reflects the region’s cultural richness and artistic diversity. The Minis Show is a meaningful opportunity for artists to share their work with their community and fellow creators—drawing more than 200 submissions most years.

The 24th Annual Miniatures Show & Sale will be on view February 7 – March 3, 2025.

About the Miniatures Show

Established in 2003, the Miniatures Show & Sale was created to support local artists during the quieter winter season while raising funds for the Museum. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the Museum’s most anticipated annual events. The show brings together artists from Taos, Rio Arriba, and Mora Counties, offering a shared platform for creators at all stages of their careers.

Featuring 2D artworks, 3D pieces, and jewelry, the exhibition is known for its breadth of materials and styles, from traditional Northern New Mexico art forms to contemporary interpretations.
