The Toy & Miniature Museum announces a three-part series of gallery talks to occur in July and August, led by artists Johannes Landman and Lloyd McCaffrey. These craftsmen are among the most talented in their field, creating fine-scale miniatures such as paintings, architectural structures and furnishings.

Visitors have the unique opportunity to interact with the artists of a rare class, whose works are displayed at the museum. The series features gallery talks, artistic demonstrations and hands-on workshops, something for everyone who has an appreciation for fine art. Intermingled within the adult-focused events will be family-friendly activities, allowing children to interact with the miniatures through various hands-on workshops.

As part of a full schedule of summer programming, found at the museum's website, the featured artists will each tell of the inspiration behind their miniatures and share their unique approach with the community. The individual programs are also included in the www.WindingRiver.com calendar of events for July and August.
