This coming weekend, Sept 29 - 30 the International Guild of Miniature Artisans is having it's show in Teaneck, NJ, which is a 15 minute bus ride from Manhattan. The Guild has high standards for certification and the show, in my opinion, is the best regarding the quality of the pieces and the skill of the artists (and the vibe is really good).
