Small Works on Paper is a juried touring, visual art exhibition that showcases 2D artwork created by Arkansas artists that is no longer than 18-by-24 inches.

The Small Works on Paper exhibition travels to up to 10 venues throughout the state in a yearlong show and offers Arkansas artists an opportunity to showcase their artwork to patrons all over the state. An out-of-state juror selects a maximum of 40 pieces of artwork for the exhibition.

This year's exhibition features 40 pieces of artwork by 35 Arkansas artists. The exhibition will tour to nine venues statewide.

More than 200 artwork entries were received this year that were juried by Mario A. Robinson, a full-time artist based in New Jersey. Originally from Oklahoma, Robinson attended the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He is a figurative painter who works in pastel, watercolor and oils. He is the author of "Lessons in Realistic Watercolor," a comprehensive guide of watercolor techniques. Robinson's work is widely collected by private and public collectors.
