2024 Small Works on Paper exhibition moves to Hope

The Arkansas Arts Council’s annual touring visual arts exhibition, Small Works on Paper, is now at the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana in Hempstead Hall at 2500 S. Main St. in Hope.

The artwork will be on view through Friday, Sept. 27. Gallery hours are 8 amto 4 pm Monday through Friday.

Now in its 37th year, the exhibition spotlights Arkansas artists who are members of the Arkansas Artist Registry, an online gallery maintained by the Arkansas Arts Council. The 2024 tour features 39 artists from across Arkansas and will make stops at nine venues statewide. Most works will be available for sale, with all proceeds benefiting the artists.

Each year, artists from around the state submit artwork that is no larger than 18 by 24 inches. An out-of-state juror selects the work to be included in the traveling visual arts exhibition.

This year’s Small Works on Paper entries were juried by Laura Blereau, curator at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Blereau reviewed more than 200 entries to select the 40 pieces that are part of the Small Works on Paper exhibition.
