The fourth annual Arts Across Arkansas event will kickoff at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Center for Humanities and Arts (CHARTS) Theatre at University of Arkansas-Pulaski Technical College at 111 1/2 Pine St. in North Little Rock.

More than 40 students selected as finalists for Arts Across Arkansas, a program designed to encourage, enhance and expand young creatives' artistic abilities and professional development, will compete for prizes. Students were nominated by teachers and selected by independent panels. High school students then worked with an Arts in Education Roster mentor in six categories. They will present their final projects during the State Finals.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch is provided at 11 a.m. with events kicking off at noon. For questions, please contact Matt Boyce at [email protected]. Learn more at ArkansasArts.org.
