The Hearst Center has sparked a delightful challenge for Iowans to embrace the tiny. We’re thrilled to showcase the incredibly imaginative entries from artists across the Cedar Valley and beyond. Dive into our online catalog featuring these talented creators and explore the details of their artwork submissions.
​
In this exhibition, two Best-In-Show awards are up for grabs: one by popular vote and one by jury selection. You can join in the excitement by casting your vote for your favorite tiny masterpiece! There are a few easy ways to vote: in-person at the Hearst Center, email your choice, or dm us on socials. Remember, only one vote per person is allowed.
Voting is open from May 30 to June 30. Stay tuned for the big reveal! The winners of both the popular vote and jury selection will be announced on our Facebook page on Tuesday, July 2, at 2:00 p.m. Winning artists will receive direct communication from the Hearst staff. Join us in celebrating the magic of tiny art!
