The Arkansas Arts Center announces the award winners for the Young Arkansas Artists 49th Annual Exhibition.  The exhibition will be held at the Arkansas Arts Center Community Gallery at the Terry House on April 9 - May 23, 2010.

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. Awards for the Young Arkansas Artists 49th Annual Exhibition were selected by Win Bruhl, who has taught printmaking and drawing at four universities since 1970. He is currently chairman of the Department of Art at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.  Bruhl studied art and art education at Southeast Missouri State and has a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking from Montana State University.

Bruhl selected 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. A special reception and awards ceremony will be held for the artists selected for the Young Arkansas Artists 49th Annual Exhibition and their families.  The artist reception will be held April 25, 2010, from 1 – 3 p.m. at the Arkansas Arts Center Community Gallery at the Terry House.
