5th Annual IMoMA Dossier Reconciles Sources and Flags Discrepancies

Imomalv’s event page for the 5th Annual International Market of Miniature Artisans lists the public retail show as February 21-22, 2026 at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino, 4000 W Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89103, and provides the contact email imoma.lv@gmail.com and the venue phone (800) 331-5334. The listing posts explicit retail hours - "21st (Show, Saturday): 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM" and "22nd (Show, Sunday): 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM" - and ticket pricing verbatim: "General Admission – Adults $12", "General Admission – Child (12 & Under) $6", "2 Day Admission Special – Adult $18", and "2 Day Admisson Special – Child $9."

The Imomalv page uses the promotional line, "Imagine hundreds of tiny worlds under one roof. Discover the stories, the artistry, and the obsession behind the miniature movement. Join the makers, collectors, and dreamers who build big in small scale." It also labels the event as a combined wholesale and retail show with separate headings for "Wholesale Buyer Registration" and "Retail Public Tickets," indicating distinct buyer tracks. Workshops are called out on the site with the explicit sentence, "Workshops will be held all 3 days of the show."

That workshops line creates a clear internal inconsistency: the official retail dates are two days while the site also asserts three days of workshops. The dossier prioritizes Imomalv as the primary authoritative source for dates and logistics but flags the three-day workshops sentence as needing clarification from organizers. Organizers can be reached at imoma.lv@gmail.com for verification of workshop schedules and wholesale timelines.

Social-media and attendee accounts provide granular vendor color but conflicting dates. A Reddit buyer titled their post "my haul from IMOMA in Vegas this past weekend✨" and wrote, "Here is everything I bought at the IMOMA convention (International Market of Miniature Artisans) that was held in Las Vegas Feb 22nd and 23rd." That post lists specific small vendors and items by name: Anika Smith Arts "(the pottery and pet accessories ... the miniature toy mouse is my favorite thing ... her pottery is so beautifully made)"; Cindy’s minis "(the office supplies, Amazon boxes, magazines and packaged foods)"; Twinheart miniatures "(the amazing vegetables ... plus the to-go silverware and fortune cookie)"; Isty Bitsy Mini "(the binder clips)"; Marina’s Miniatures "(miniature printers tray)"; and Minis Mexico "(3 grass woven bowls)". The Reddit poster closed, "I am so grateful I had the opportunity to go this year, it was my first mini show and now I can’t wait to go to the next one!"

Local listings and KNPR promotion echo the Imomalv branding and name several featured miniaturists by name: Paige Hammond, John Paulo Pabustan, Susan Canaday Henry, and Haley Costomiris. KNPR and Imomalv also list Nevada Public Radio / NPR as event supporter material, reinforcing the public-facing promotional push.

For the recordable facts available now, the most verifiable details remain Imomalv’s logistical lines: retail-show dates February 21-22, 2026; Gold Coast venue and phone; ticket prices as listed; and the contact email imoma.lv@gmail.com. The Reddit attendee’s vendor-level inventory and date claim provide vivid on-the-ground detail but conflict with the official schedule; the Imomalv page’s "Workshops will be held all 3 days of the show" line adds a separate contradiction. Organizers can resolve which days hosted retail, workshops, wholesale activity, or vendor setup by replying to imoma.lv@gmail.com, and that clarification will determine whether the Feb 22-23 social reports describe a wholesale/preview day or a mismatch in published dates.
