57th Young Arkansas Artists Exhibition
May 8, 2018 — July 22, 2018
Organized by the Arkansas Arts Center
In 1961, the Arkansas Arts Center hosted the first statewide Young Arkansas Artists Exhibition to ensure learning, inspiration, and creative expression. Now in its sixth decade, this annual children’s art exhibition showcases artwork by students in kindergarten through 12th grade from across the state. Hundreds of works in a variety of media are juried by a professional panel and a chief juror selects a "Best of Class" and two "Honorable Mentions" for each grade. Monetary awards are provided to each winner's school. Each year, selections from the exhibition travel to schools and other venues throughout the state as part of the Arkansas Arts Center's State Services program.
Online entry for the 57th Young Arkansas Artists Exhibition begins on December 1, 2017. The deadline for entries is February 26, 2018. Your participation ensures the continued success of the exhibition.
