Delta National Small Prints Exhibition
From: Jan 19th, 2012 @ 12:00 pm To: Feb 17th, 2012 @ 12:00 pm | < Previous Page |
The 2012 Delta National Small Prints Exhibition will open to the public at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19, at the Bradbury Gallery, Fowler Center, 201 Olympic Drive, Jonesboro.
This exhibition is a survey of some of the most outstanding examples of small prints being made in the United States today. Held annually in January, it honors the belief in and commitment to the art of contemporary printmaking. The exhibition runs through Friday, Feb. 17.
The exhibition, the catalog, and the reception are all free and open to the public. Each year a well-known professional in the field of printmaking is asked to place his or her mark on this series by determining which works will be included. This year, Roberta Waddell, a most distinguished juror, selected the 2012 exhibition. Four of the 60 artists seen in the show are from Arkansas—they are Dustyn Bork from Batesville, Melissa Gill and Aj Smith from Little Rock, and John Salvest from Jonesboro.
There were also several international entries this year. One foreign artist, Canadian Heather Huston, was included. A full-color catalog of the entire exhibition will be available at the opening reception. Bradbury Gallery hours are 12 noon-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 2-5 p.m. on Sunday.
