Miniature art has been made for over 2500 years in many cultures and is prized by collectors. A piece could often be made on the back of a playing card. Smaller pieces of art were given in intimate gift exchanges to family members and friends to capture a historical or religious happening, commemorate celebrations, illustrate manuscripts, or just chronicle everyday events. These often private gifts allowed artists more freedom to create beyond conventional norms.

The Exhibit features art by local Ukrainian artists including Adeline Panamaroff; Alona Liakh; Andrii Lysenko; Anna Soichenko; Annette Tyrrell; Borys Tarasenko; Camille Ostapowich-Allen; Carmella Haykowsky; Char Vanderhorst; Crystal Mills; Dariia Harrison; David Shkolny; Elizabeth Holinaty; Elvira Falconer; Erin Haugen; Gaye Oxford; Hilary Mussell; Ivanna Dyedkova; June Mielnichuk; Kateryna (Taran) Balout; Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn; Larissa Poho; Larysa Eliuk Matchak; Larysa Luciw; Liliya Kostiuk; Lydia Hodgson; Maria Levytska; Mariia Parshykova; Mazahir Huseynov; Mikylie Shapka; Myroslava Oksentiuk; Natalia Iusypchuk; Natalia Stativa-Zharko; Nataliya Petrenko-Litvinova; Nikki Chabot; Oksana Zhelisko; Oles Iusypchuk; Olha Frolova; Olha Lesiv; Olya Lisova; Roman Iusypchuk; Solomia Palanitska; Sophia Podryhula Shaw; Thea Szewczuk; Theodora Harasymiw; Valeriy Semenko; Victoria Kart; Viktoriya Baranik; Yaroslava Naumenko.
