New Art Exhibit Coming to ANC


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.
 ANC Gallery hours are 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday – Friday. Or call for an appointment. The exhibition is free and open to the public.  For additional information please contact Mary Ann Garren , Community Education , 870-762-3168
