Percy Thomson Gallery is proud to host nearly 200 artists in the Gallery for this
exhibition, on now!  

'Taranaki Review in Miniature' is a new exhibition concept for the Gallery. The idea for the exhibition stems from speaking with our community about what they want to see. Gallery Director, Laura Campbell and her team at PTG, kept hearing about some artworks being too large, or in some cases just out of reach in price. And so, Taranaki Review in Miniature was born! The Director of PTG Stratford believes strongly that ..."art should be accessible in all senses of the word; that is, everyone should be able to visit, view and collect". 

This exhibition also presents a challenge to local artists to make a tiny artwork encapsulating their artistic style but also making them highly collectable for people who might not necessarily have the space at home for a big painting or sculpture.
