Museum Statement
Since 2015, the Monmouth Museum has proudly celebrated our Artist Members through a non-juried art exhibition. The exhibition will feature miniatures, with artwork no larger than 15" x 15" when framed. All media types are welcome, but artwork must be wall-mountable. Open to all Museum Members aged 18 and up.
​
There’s an exciting spin to the Nilson Gallery during this exhibit! The gallery will also host a gift shop with a few tables for guests to do a workshop or enjoy a prepackaged snack—great reasons for more visitors to discover your work.
​
This exhibition is exclusive to Museum Members (limit 2 pieces per artist).
