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.
