Cult of Paint MPO 2026 report: the hobby event done right
Hi folks, I wanted to share my experience of attending the Cult of Paint Miniature Painting Open 2026 as a non-entrant. Right from the off, the standard of painting and sheer creativity on display was astonishing. You’ll find fantastic photos on the artists’ accounts and on Cult of Paint’s socials showcasing the entrants’ work, and I’ve included a few of the shots I took on the day as well.
