June 15, 2009 - The Arkansas Arts Council is now accepting submissions for the 23rd annual Small Works on Paper exhibition. Deadline for entries is July 24. All Arkansas residents who join the Arkansas Artist Registry are eligible to submit entries. (Applicants may join the Registry for free at time of entry.)

Small Works on Paper is an annual juried art exhibition sponsored by Arkansas Arts Council. Arkansas artists may enter up to three works of art on paper of any medium (no larger than 24x24 inches), which will be juried by a prominent arts educator and selected for a year-long traveling show to all areas across the state. Works must have been completed within the last two years.

Up to $2,000 will be available for juror selected purchase awards, which become part of the Small Works on Paper permanent collection. Individuals may submit up to three entries at a fee of $10 per entry or $25 for three entries.

The Arkansas Artist Registry, which may be viewed www.arkansasarts.org, is a comprehensive online gallery of Arkansas artists and their work. The Registry contains work from more than 500 artists and is a valuable resource, allowing member artists to market their work and to connect to collectors, curators or anyone searching for artists and artwork. Membership to the Registry is free and open to all Arkansas artists.

Artists whose work is selected for the Small Works on Paper exhibition will be notified of results in September 2009. The 2010 exhibition opens at Searcy Art Gallery in January 2010. Suzanne Bloom, professor of art at the University of Houston, will be the juror.

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
