The Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) is bringing big creativity to small spaces with the 5th annual Teeny Tiny Art Mart! This beloved exhibition showcases hundreds of miniature masterpieces, each measuring just 5×5 inches.

Art for Everyone

The Teeny Tiny Art Mart offers a unique and inclusive way to collect art. Every piece is priced at $25, and buyers won’t know the artist behind their chosen work until after purchase, adding an element of fun and surprise to the experience.

From bold paintings to intricate mixed-media designs, these miniature masterpieces highlight the creativity and diversity of Southern California’s art scene.

Supporting Art Education

More than just an exhibition, the Teeny Tiny Art Mart is an opportunity to give back. All proceeds from the event directly benefit OMA’s educational programs, which provide transformative art experiences to thousands of students and community members each year.

By purchasing a piece, you’re not just adding to your collection—you’re also making a meaningful impact on the local arts community.

Get Involved and Create

Calling all artists! Submissions are open until January 12 at 5 PM for those who want to contribute to this year’s event. Whether you’re an established artist or a first-time creator, this is your chance to be part of something special.

Artwork must be exactly 5×5 inches and can be delivered in person or by mail. To help you get started, the OMA Museum Store offers Teeny Tiny Art Kits complete with brushes and a canvas.
