Miniaturists are considered for membership in the Society after their works have been accepted in the Annual MPSGS International Exhibition in three shows or when they have been awarded a 1st, second, or third prize in the exhibition. As of 2000 the Society consisted of 48 Resident Members and 142 Associate Members from all over the world. There are ten Emeritus Members and five Auxiliary Members (non-artists). Society members offer exhibitions, lectures, videos, demonstrations and workshops. The MPSGS also provides stipends for talented and deserving art students in visual arts graduating from the Duke Ellington School for the Arts in Washington, D.C. The origin of these scholarship funds was the proceeds from sales of the first miniature book on miniaturizing, ''Art in Miniature'', written and published by MPSGS member and past President, Margaret T. Hicks . The Society holds an International Exhibition of Fine Art Miniatures for six weeks in November and December at the Strathmore Hall Arts Center in North Bethesda, Maryland. EXTERNAL LINKS |
