The Arkansas Arts Council’s annual touring exhibition, Small Works on Paper, will open on April 3 at the Community Creative Center, located at 505 W. Spring Street in Fayetteville. This year’s exhibition features my 7x7 watercolor piece, Provenance.

The artwork will be on display in the McCoy Gallery from Thursday, April 3, through Wednesday, April 30. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A reception will be held on Friday, April 4, at 5:30 p.m.

Now in its 38th year, Small Works on Paper is a juried exhibition showcasing artwork no larger than 18 x 24 inches, created by Arkansas artists. This year’s exhibition features 40 pieces by 35 artists and will tour nine venues statewide. Most works will be available for purchase, with all proceeds benefiting the artists.

The Small Works on Paper exhibition celebrates Arkansas artists and provides an exciting opportunity for the public to engage with their work. Don’t miss this chance to see a diverse collection of artwork and support local talent!

Provenance (7x7) This work explores questions of chronology, ownership, custody, and the location of historical objects, as well as the challenges of determining their provenance and authenticity. It examines how objects considered to be art are often subject to evolving interpretations over time.
