Juried Artist Directory

Welcome to the new Juried Artist Directory!

Our Directory is dedicated to creating a free, online listing of 2D and 3D visual artists who have been recognized by independent jurors and panels connected to the Arkansas Arts Council's programs. Directory artists have been recognized by programs, such as Small Works on Paper, Individual Artist Fellowships, Governor's Arts Awards or Arkansas Living Treasure programs.

Artists chosen for the Directory have the opportunity to showcase their artworks on a free platform to help promote and market themselves and their artistic careers. Works can be updated by contacting the artist services manager.

Artists who have not been chosen by independent judges or panels will be removed from the listing. This is an ongoing process, and accounts without updates in the past two years will be removed first. Thank you for your patience as we revamp the listings.

As an artist, instigator, and community organizer, I find myself more at home these days with collaborative art projects and social crafting. When not feeling a fear of the blank canvas, I tend to be drawn to the process of certain mediums such as working in a dark room, hand cranking an image through a large metal and wood floor model press bed, the smell of printmaking ink, and the meditative motion of carving a wood block, splinters, slipped V-gouge cuts, and all. Synesthesia assemblage and built environments, installations and event coordination all play into my 2D art visual output that is mainly a play with light, patterns, abstraction, and expressionism.
