Welcome to The Hilliard Society of Miniature Art
The Hilliard Society is one of the foremost contemporary Miniature Art societies in the UK, bringing together collectors and artists from around the world, and dedicated to encouraging greater appreciation of this specialised art form. Every summer we hold one of the largest International Exhibitions of Miniature Art in the UK in Wells, the smallest city in England.
On our website miniature artists can find information on materials, suppliers, exhibitions, books and how to Join the Society. Collectors can view artwork in the members gallery, peruse the full exhibition online or commission a special miniature painting or sculpture.
2020 ANNUAL EXHIBITION CANCELLED
In order to support efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect both our volunteers and visitors we have regretfully taken the decision to cancel this year's Exhibition.
We appreciate your support and hope to see you next year. In the meantime the 2019 Exhibition will remain online and you are very welcome to get in touch to check availability if you would like to purchase any of the miniatures.
