New York, NY - (January 31, 2023) Following a successful run in London and Paris, Small is Beautiful: Miniature Art Exhibition, a unique experience that will immerse visitors in the peculiar, yet wonderful world of miniature art, will make its US debut in New York City this February. Tickets are now on sale.

Small is Beautiful will showcase over 130 miniature artworks from more than 30 internationally-acclaimed artists, offering visitors a rare opportunity to discover and appreciate this incredibly skillful, yet under-recognized artform up close. The artwork on display varies from  photography, sculpture, miniature food, and more. Attention to detail is paramount at the exhibition, and fans of the mini-phenomenon can bring their childhood imaginations back to life inside a number of small-scale universes.

Small is Beautiful was born from social networks, where there are hundreds of miniature artists, who each propose their vision of a world on a reduced scale. The expression "Small is Beautiful" was originally proposed by Leopold Kohr and used in the economics book Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as if People Mattered by Ernst Friedrich Schumacher. It advocates a return to a society that is commensurate with the size of the human being, in the face of the gigantism that has become the norm. Each of the artists expresses their own "Small is Beautiful" in their creations, consciously or not. Which is why Small is Beautiful, the first international and innovative immersion in the universe of miniature art, gathers such a wide audience in its unique artistic experience. 

“One of the main purposes of the experience is to be able to give the public the chance to discover miniature art in real life,” says Serge Victoria, producer of the exhibit which premiered in Paris in 2021, and is brought to you in partnership with Fever, the leading live entertainment discovery platform, and Encore Productions. “This experience is a journey in the universe of miniature art,  a wonder we are excited to share with visitors.”

Small is Beautiful, which TimeOut called “mind blowing,” is suitable for all ages with aspects that will amuse and astound audiences. Some of the smallest works in the exhibition are only visible under the microscope! Attendees will also enjoy a guided scavenger hunt where they will search for artworks hidden throughout the exhibit, a curated art shop where they can discover even more new artists, and creative miniature art workshops for kids.

The experience will open on February 21 and run through August on Tuesdays through Saturdays at 718 Broadway near Washington Square Park. More information about the Small is Beautiful: Miniature Art Exhibition can be found on the website here.
