Call for Makers! Miniatures in the Museum

March 10 – September 9

Introduction 

The Montgomery Museum of Art and History is located in the former Bank of  Christiansburg building, which was built in 1964. The building retains many original  features including the steel safe deposit boxes in the main vault. Reusing these tiny  historic spaces is the focus of this exhibit. The museum invites fine artists, hobby  miniaturists, and all creative souls to contribute small works for this show….
