The Montgomery Museum of Art and History is located in the former Bank of Christiansburg building, which was built in 1964. The building retains many original features including the steel safe deposit boxes in the main vault. Reusing these tiny historic spaces is the focus of this exhibit. The museum invites fine artists, hobby miniaturists, and all creative souls to contribute small works for this show.
Appropriate pieces may include: original landscape dioramas or room vignettes that contain a majority of handmade components (limited use of ready-made pieces are acceptable); original miniature art, textile, or sculpture pieces.
Boxes are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. The sizes below are the maximum dimensions of items that will fit into the five differently-sized safe deposit boxes.
- 10” wide x 9 ½” high (10 available)
- 10” wide x 4 ¾” high (10 available)
- 10” wide x 5” high (7 available)
- 10” wide x 3 ¾” high (8 available)
- 4 ¾” wide x 3 ¾” high (16 available)
Payment of the show-participation-fee of $25 will reserve your safe deposit box. Prior to the drop-off date you will be given instructions to provide your title and price (if any) and enter your bio and artist statement.
