Mundos Pequeños: Miniatures from the John Gaston Fairey Collection of Mexican Folk Art will continue AMSET’s annual summer tradition of exhibiting works from the permanent collection. It will be on view in tandem with a second permanent collection exhibition titled Dreams, Screams & Fantastical Things. Mundos Pequeños will include over 20 miniature artworks made from a variety of materials. These will include miniature masks, nativity scenes, trees of life, altars, and micro-woven textiles. Large versions of these objects, such as masks and trees of life, will be exhibited alongside the miniatures to demonstrate size differences.
An opening reception will take place on Friday, July 26, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. This event is free and open to the public and includes a gallery talk with Curator of Exhibitions, Caitlin Clay. A gallery guide with an essay written by Clay will give an overview of both exhibitions.
