Arkansas
Northeastern College
presents“Selections from A-State’s
Delta National Small Prints Exhibitions”
“Selections
from A-State’s Delta National Small Prints Exhibitions” will open to the public
beginning Monday April 14 in the Adams/Vines Gallery on the Blytheville ANC
campus. Founded in 1996 by Arkansas State University professor of art Evan
Lindquist and produced by the Bradbury Gallery, this exhibition has received
great acclaim as it has grown to be one of the country’s foremost annual competitions
for prints.
Artists
from across the country and around the world submit their prints annually to be
considered for inclusion in this exhibition.
Each year as the popularity of the show increases a greater number of
artists from a larger number of states and countries apply. These entries are then reviewed by a
nationally respected expert who determines which prints will be included. The juror, as the position is called, also
selects all of the award winners, including the purchase prizes which become a
part of the A-State Permanent Collection of Art. This blind process is done
without the juror being informed of the name or location of the artists, only
the title, medium and dimensions of each print are known.
This
exhibition features a selection of award winning prints which span several
years. Included in the exhibition are
prints by Yuji Hiratsuka, Florence Alfano McEwin, Babette Mayor, Anne Chesnut,
Ross Racine, Norman Wagner, Sang-Mi Yoo, David Warren, Dodie Warren, Kathy L.
McGhee, Ella Weber and Chunwoo Nam.
