Small Scenes, Big Stories: Forest Park Dioramas

4/3/2026

 
Picture
​🏆 People’s Choice & Best Storytelling in Miniature
Han Huie
​
Ladies Day Every Sunday at the Parichy Stadium
A fan favorite that truly knocked it out of the tiny park!
Picture
​🏆 Most Imaginative Use of Scale
Ben Pfaff
Police. Fire. Work Ignored in Copter Crash
A scene that took creativity to new heights and proved big ideas can come in small packages.

​🏆 Best Craftsmanship and Detail
Michelle Contreras
A House that Goes Bump in the Night
Every inch of this piece was frightfully well done, with details that reward a closer look, if you dare.

​Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening of Small Scenes, Big Stories: Forest Park Dioramas. Even with the rain, you showed up in a big way to celebrate these small-scale creations, and it made for a truly memorable evening. From tiny details to big bursts of creativity, the room was full of little moments that made a lasting impression.
We are also grateful to our judges for lending their time and expertise: Little Perspectives artist Ian Pfaff, Forest Park tour guide and author Amy Binns-Calvey, and Jessica Mordacq, Staff Writer for the Forest Park Review.
If you missed the reception, there is still time to experience these mini masterpieces. The dioramas remain on display at the Forest Park Public Library until April 6th, and we highly recommend seeing them in person to catch all the small but mighty details.
