The MiniCal is a global event calendar dedicated to miniature painting and tabletop hobby communities. It brings together information about competitions, artist classes, conventions, workshops, seminars, online courses, and community paint-alongs, helping hobbyists discover opportunities to participate, learn, and connect. Its listings cover both virtual and in-person events, from local store challenges to major shows such as Golden Demon and The Crimson Brush.

Event details may include judging formats, divisions, categories, deadlines, registration links, and links to official rules or organizers, helping participants plan their entries and attendance. The calendar is updated regularly and is designed for everyone from first-time competitors to experienced painters planning a full season of events. Organizers and instructors can submit events for free; The MiniCal reviews submissions to help maintain accurate, current listings.

By gathering event information that might otherwise be scattered across social media and convention websites, the platform offers a searchable resource for finding miniature painting competitions, classes, and hobby conventions worldwide
