In May there will be new art event on both sides of the River called ArtWeek 09 - Bridging the Twin Cities. The galleries and museums of 2nd Friday Art Night in Little Rock and 3rd Friday Argenta Artwalk are planning 10 days of events and festivities focusing on Arkansas arts throughout both cities with a final celebration on the Big Dam Bridge on Sunday, May 17th.

Artweek 09 is envisioned as the inaugural event of a new tradition - an annual festival celebrating the rich artistic and cultural resources of both cites and promoting all that they have to offer.

Local businesses, artists and organizations are invited to participate in whatever fashion and/or as frequently as they desire. Whether a business, wants to create a "tie-in" event such as a wine tasting featuring artistic wine labels or offer live music or even live artists; or if an artist would like help finding a venue to demonstrate, exhibit or sell art - the organizing committee, which is made up of representatives from cultural institutions, gallery owners, artists, architects, designers, media people and art enthusiasts can assist your restaurant or business in securing the talent you prefer.

You can also find out a lot more about this exciting event on the web site.
