Special Events Cobblestone Art Gallery Exhibit A spring exhibit was held at the Cobblestone Art Gallery for local Resident Members to display their miniatures. An opening reception was held May 5, 2007 and the show runs from May 4 through June 2, 2007. The Gallery is located at 213 King St., Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.
On May 20, 2007, a lovely Tea was hosted by our favorite caterers - Rehms Catering - at their home in Clarksville, Maryland. It was held to thank the local Society members, especially the art work Receivors, for their continued time and efforts each year. Mr. and Mrs. Rehms provided a fabulous array of their scrumptious finger foods including hot and cold appetizers and desserts. Mrs. Rehms proudly shared with us a Rembrandt copy painted by a family member and relayed the family history of this great small work. It was framed in a very ornate and old Russian frame found in a family home.
In July 2004, the MPSGS and the Smithsonian Institution hosted the Third Exhibition of Fine Art in Miniature of the World Federation of Miniaturists (WFM), which was held at the Smithsonian's Ripley Center in Washington, DC. The next WFM exhibition will be held in 2008 in Burnie on the NW coast of Australia's island state, Tasmania (see more info at http://www.littlebigpicture.info/).
