Sit Down Dinner and Speaker Darren Scala

of "Meet the Miniaturist!"

We are pleased to announce that this year's Guild Show Dinner Speaker will be Darren Scala.  Darren is no stranger to the Guild, Guild members and artists and the miniatures community it serves; he is a former Board Member of the Guild and proprietor of D. Thomas Miniatures.

Darren's lifelong passion for miniatures as an art form has led him to a successful career in promoting the miniatures world through his online Meet the Miniaturist and MiniVersity series, discovering sought after tiny treasures for his popular estates sales and curating exhibitions of works in small scale.

Darren's dinner talk will discuss the history of miniatures in culture and media, and will focus on the birth of the modern fine art miniatures movement during the 1970s and 1980s that helped shape today's miniature currently enjoying a surge in interest, awareness and popularity.
