 Organized by the Arkansas Arts Center with the cooperation of the Arkansas Department of Education, the Young Arkansas Artists exhibition showcases artworks of all media created by students in kindergarten through 12th grade in Arkansas schools- both public and private. Teachers across the state submitted 605 artworks for consideration. A jury of 53 members of the Arkansas Arts Educators Association selected 142 artworks representing 72 schools and arts programs across Arkansas.
Awards for the Young Arkansas Artists 49th Annual Exhibition will be chosen by Win Bruhl, chairman of the Department of Art at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Bruhl will select one “Best of Class” and two “Honorable Mention” awards for each grade level. Monetary awards, funded by Arkansas Children’s Hospital, are given to each winner’s school to support the funding of art programs. Awards will be announced on April 7, 2010.

The "Battle of Bands" benefit for the Amboy Community Food Pantry is scheduled for Sat. May 22, 2010. We are hoping your group will help with this cause. We are hoping to have enough music to need to start 2 hours earlier this year at 2pm and continue until sunset. I hope you and your band will be able to help us. This has become our largest fund raiser over that last 4 years and our need is greater now that ever. Feel free to contact me, Jim Carpenter @ 501-758-8806 for more information. |

 Ladies, it’s that time of year again. The Suite Ladies are having their Annual Woman’s Worth Celebration and this year we’re partnering with the Arkansas Community Arts Coop (ACAC).
A Woman’s Worth 3
Celebrating women in the Arts
Saturday, March 27 at 6pm
Our goal is to provide a special opportunity to discover and celebrate art and experiences in a variety of forms and mediums that help expand our perceptions of women. The celebration will end with an all female (or female-led) concert.
Please join us as we take a moment to honor the originality, beauty, imagination and multiple dimensions of women’s lives and to reflect on the contribution of women to the arts.
We're still looking for female performers of all music genres (Rock, Blues, Folk, R&B, Rap, etc). Please send an email to

if you are interested in performing. |

 I was proud to participate for the second year by donating to the Empty Bowls fundraiser for the Arkansas FoodBank Network, but didn't realize that Arkansas is the second hungriest state in the nation. The need in our state is very great and the Foodbank needs your help with the Empty Bowls event! When you donate the proceeds stay in Arkansas. To find out more go to AFBN.
