ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
The second annual Our Art, Our Region, Our Time exhibition includes over 90 pieces by 75 artists representing not only cities across the region but also diverse communities that are part of Northwest Arkansas.
“More than 209 artists submitted 411 works of art for consideration, a 55% increase in participation from our last call for art,” said Kathy Thompson, local artist and exhibition curator. “It has been a joy reviewing the work and curating the 2022 exhibition. Like in 2021, themes of isolation and self-reflection are still strong among the works but this year the size and scale of the individual art works are much larger. This exhibition will have a big impact on patrons.”
