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.
