Friends of the Florence Museum 20th Annual Miniature Art Competition |
The Friends of the Florence Museum Miniature Art Competition
began as both a fundraising effort and a way to commemorate
the artistic vision of the museum's founder, Jane Beverly Evans.
As an art student, Miss Jane (she never married) studied
portraiture, in particular, the art of miniature portraits.
In addition to this year's competition, the museum has put on
display an exhibit of art and objects created by and belonging to
Ms. Evans, including oil portraits of her parents and sketches
produced during her travels to Europe and the American
Southwest.
