Hobby & Art Events

From the prestigious Dragon Slayer Miniature Painting Exhibition to a variety of hobby classes offered by our talented guest artists, the hobby area is definitely turning into a highlight of our Charity Festival.

Dragon Slayer Miniature Painting Exhibition

Welcome to DragonFall’s annual open painting exhibition, the Dragon Slayer awards.  Here is all you need to know about exhibiting in this thrilling event including the categories, rules, and judging standards!

Categories

There are none! This exhibition will be 100% open and welcomes any and all miniature or model.

Judging Standards

Judging is always subjective.  Having a panel of multiple judges will help us keep that balanced.  Our judges will be looking at technical application and execution as well as color theory, composition, storytelling, and emotional resonance.  The judges will be available for feedback after the awards ceremony.  

 

Awards

More information on awards coming soon

 

We know you all will be putting some amazing pieces of art into the world and we can’t wait to see and showcase them!  It’s time to show the world how these dragons roar!
