2012 SMALL WORKS ON PAPER
EXHIBITION KICKS OFF JAN. 5
IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK AND
TOUR THE STATE DURING YEAR
William E. Barksdale is a featured photographer
in "Art and Artisans of the Ozarks," Volume Two,
published by the Palette Art League of Yellville is
a winner in the 2012 Small Works on Paper.
Barksdale's winning photo being included in the tour.
The 2012 Small Works on Paper art exhibition will
kick off its statewide tour at the William F. Laman
Library at 2801 Orange Street in North Little Rock.
Presented by the Arkansas Arts Council, the exhibition
will be on display at the library from Jan. 5-29. An opening
reception is slated for 6-8 p.m., Friday, Jan. 6, at the library.
The public reception is free and will include talks by the artists.
Hours for the exhibition are 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday-Thursday; 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free. To view the complete 2012 touring schedule and the list of the artists whose work was selected, visit www.arkansasarts.com/programs/swop.aspx.
Now in its 25th year, the annual Small Works on Paper exhibition showcases artwork no larger than 24 x 24 inches by Arkansas artists who are members of the Arkansas Artist Registry, an online art gallery coordinated by the Arts Council. The selected work is chosen by an out-of-state juror, who also selects pieces for purchase awards. Purchase award winners receive the cash amount equivalent to the value of their selected works. Funded by entry fees, the purchase award pieces become part of the exhibition's permanent collection.
The art will be on display in 10 galleries throughout the state in a year-long touring show. The 2012 show features 40 works, which were selected from 246 submissions by juror Marcia Goldenstein. Goldenstein is a professor of drawing and painting at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. She has been a visiting artist at numerous institutions around the world and her paintings have appeared in many solo and invitational exhibitions in the United States, Europe and China and are included in a variety of museum, corporate and private collections.
"When I agreed to jury the 2012 Small Works on Paper traveling exhibition I never imagined how difficult it was going to be to select 40 works from a total of 246," said Goldenstein. "Especially noteworthy for me were the categories of photography and drawing. The range from new technologies (phone cameras) to domestic (stitchery) presented a wonderful variety of media and image making. I believe that this exhibition reveals the best of the rich variety of materials and ideas."
Six artists were selected to receive purchase awards totaling nearly $2,000: William Barksdale of Cotter; Ginger Grahn of Paragould; Neal Harrington of Russellville; Dennis McCann of Maumelle; Jason McCann of Maumelle; and Mike Means of El Dorado.

4th Annual Delta Visual Arts Show Reaches Capacity with 100 Artists
The Blue Bridge Center for the Delta Arts announces the 4 th Annual Delta Visual Arts Show on Saturday, February 25, 2012 in downtown Newport, Arkansas. The show will open to the public at 10:30 a.m. and run through 6 p.m. with a reception from 4:00p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This year’s show features 100 artists from five states, featuring primarily artists who grew up in the Delta, live or have lived in the Delta or who produce Delta themed work. The visual art covers a broad range with everything from pottery to painting and jewelry to sculpture. The show’s capacity is 100 artists so, with almost two months remaining before the show, the Blue Bridge Center for the Delta Arts created a waiting list for artists.
The show will be held in downtown Newport at the Iron Mountain Train Depot on Front Street, the Newport Business Resource Center on Hazel Street, the old Post Office on Hazel Street and a new building this year, the Old First National Bank on Front Street (the John Minor Building). Artists will have their work on display, and visitors will be able to meet the artists as well as purchase pieces. This is a unique opportunity to own an original piece of art and to understand how the artist produced the piece. Several artists will be working at their booths during the show. The show features wellknown artists like Dr. Austin Grimes of Little Rock and young new artists like Lillian
Fogleman of Marion, and Adralyn Elliott and Natalie Curtner, both from Newport.
In addition to being able to visit with artists and purchase art work, there will also be workshops throughout the day. The Delta Visual Arts Show will feature workshops by Arlette Miller on Watercolors, Eva Haley on the Importance of the Value Sketch, Ariston Jacks on Drawing Techniques, and Frank Plegge on Basic Digital Photography. In addition, demonstrations will be held by Joe Martin in Clay Sculpture and Jeff Ellis in Woodcarving. New this year will be workshops for young people, with two workshops aimed at children from 4 years old to 8 years old taught by Kris Dunlap and Debra Bennett and two workshops aimed at ages 9 to 13 taught by Dewana McIntosh and Jody Hughes. The workshops have limited space, so call (870) 523-1009 to reserve a spot at the workshop of your choice.
Another new feature this year is the addition of Art Bucks Door Prizes during the show. Three times during the day, drawings will be held for $100 to be spent toward the purchase of art from the show. During the evening reception, an additional drawing for $200 in art bucks will be held. You must be present during the drawings to win! This is a wonderful opportunity to come and see the amazing creativity of artists who capture the Delta way of life in an amazing array of mediums. Plus you have a chance to win money to help you take a piece of art home!
