“It Takes A Village”
Miniature Village Display
 

For the 2024 Wood Art Expo the board has decided to change the Floater Competition that had minimal participation for the past two years, and institute instead an Annual Display Theme.  This years’ theme will be a "Miniature Village".  This 2024 Theme was conceived from both Curtis Hutchens’ outhouse and cabin cutouts and North Port Woodcarvers’ similar display. We have included some pictures from the North Port Woodcarvers display as an example.
  
The idea is to create a carving or woodturning that fits into the Theme of a Miniature Village.  Entries should be confined to a footprint no larger than 10x10x10 inches square.  And YES, your entry MAY be part of the main Competition, and can then be moved to the Miniature Village Display after judging.

Please include a note on your entry form or let one of the staff know if you wish your Competition Entry to be displayed in the Miniature Village after judging is completed.  After judging, Staff Volunteers will move your piece to the Theme Display along with any ribbons awarded.
 
Please note: It is NOT required to enter your Village piece in the main competition, and there is NO Entry Fee if your piece is designated only for the Miniature Village. Please bring your Miniature Village Display pieces in on drop-off day, Thursday January 11th. The village is not a competition, is open to any skill level, and is meant to be a collaboration with all the Woodcarvers and Woodturners.

Have fun, and we can’t wait to see how the village will grow!
