EVENT DETAILS
BARELY FAIR 2026 is the 6th edition of the international miniature art fair. Operated by the Julius Caesar artist collective, the artist-run fair presents galleries at 1:12 scale. Exhibitors share a tiny peek of their programming inside 20 x 20 inch booths, arranged in rows like a standard art fair.
