 COTTAGE INDUSTRY MINIATURISTS TRADE ASSOCIATION, INC.

FOUNDER CAROL WENK—CLEVELAND, OHIO    1979

Purpose:  The purposes of the Corporation are: (i) to consider and present programs which deal with the unique problems

that face the Miniatures Industry; (ii) to foster cooperation and exchange of ideas and opinions on issues confronted

by the handcrafter of miniatures and upon questions affecting the commercial and industrial interests of the

Miniatures Industry and the United State of America, and (iii) to promote business interests within the Miniatures Industry.

​

 We have come together with the common goal of sharing our love for dollhouse miniatures with the public and fostering the the continuation of the hobby in today's world with all of its distractions.  We hope to create a channel of communication between the  artisans, makers and manufacturers of dollhouse miniatures and the stores, shops and dealers who sell to the public.  In an effort  to let the artisans do what they do best :  "CREATE";  and let the shop owners do what they do best:  "SELL";  we host a wholesale trade show held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada.  This event facilitates the meeting of these two entities in a setting  that  fulfills the needs of both factions, as much as it creates an atmosphere of excitement and fun.

CIMTA  is a NOT FOR PROFIT organisation and is run by a board of directors that are elected by the members.  The board plans, prepares and implements the annual wholesale trade show, always keeping in mind what will enhance the experience for both buyers and sellers.
