Now in its sixth decade, the Young Arkansas Artists exhibit showcases artwork by students in kindergarten through 12th grade from across the state.

This year, 455 entries from 111 schools and programs across Arkansas were received. 106 works in a huge variety of media were juried by the Arkansas Art Educators. Award juror Katherine Strauss selected a Best of Class and Honorable Mentions for each grade among other awards. Monetary awards are provided to each winner’s school.

Each year, selections from the exhibition travel to schools and other venues throughout the state as part of the Arkansas Arts Center’s State Services program.

The exhibit runs through July 26 at the Arkansas Arts Center.
