What is IMoMA?
Imagine hundreds of tiny worlds gathered under one roof.
Welcome to the International Market of Miniature Artisans (IMoMA-MiniCON) a celebration of the artists, makers, collectors, creators, and dreamers who prove that incredible things can happen on a small scale.
We are a global marketplace for miniature artisans and enthusiasts, bringing together an extraordinary community of creators and collectors from around the world. As the largest MiniCON on the West Coast, IMoMA is where miniature artists, bloggers, minfluencers, makers, vendors, collectors, and enthusiasts come together to shop, socialize, discover, learn, share, and celebrate the art of the miniature.
At IMoMA, we believe there is no single definition of miniature art. We welcome all tiny scales, styles, mediums, genres, and interpretations of small-scale creativity. Whether you create a tiny room, sculpt a character, build an entire world, photograph a miniature scene, collect tiny treasures, love dollhouses, or simply enjoy everything small, we want you here.

Think big. Create small. Find your world at IMoMA.
I ran my own business for 35 years outside of the miniature world. I started making miniatures 34 years ago as a hobby. Then Cindi’s Minis evolved with many shows leading to my position on the board of a non-profit organization that promoted miniatures for more than 15 years. I understand the marketing of our special art and know the hard work it takes to put on a show. I hated to lose our west coast show so I decided to step up to the occasion and keep a show going in Las Vegas.
I currently own and operate my e-commerce site called A WeeBitTeeny Modern Mini’s, which began for me as an 8 year old girls dream. I grew up living next door to a Miniature store called Barbara’s Miniatures In Bakersfield CA.
After 7 years in college and leading a very successful career in real estate for over 18 years, my decision to move on from my corporate days, and start building a mini business began in September 2011.
After five years of traveling the miniature show circuit, and doing research till my eyes were burning, A WeeBitTeeny was finally formed in September 2016.
I’m a married mother to three wonderful grown children and although I admire the history of the miniature industry, its superb quality and craftsmanship, and its contribution to my childhood, I desire to see it modernize and survive for many generations to come. This is why I have teamed up with IMoMA to help create the first international miniature convention that will focus on ALL things miniature and bring a community of not just dollhouse fanatics together, but the entire world of Miniatures.
