“November on the Buffalo River” by Theresa Grillo Laird for the 2026-27 Painting the Arkansas Parks Exhibition

Upcoming Events

2022 – 2027

Painting the Arkansas Parks, Plein Air Events and Traveling Exhibition

Beginning in 2022 and culminating in 2025, there were seven plein air events in the five major geographical regions of the State of Arkansas to honor the wonderful state parks. Artists that participated in these events took the inspiration and made gallery-sized paintings for a traveling exhibition of the same name that will be making its way around Arkansas through 2027. We hope you have a chance to go see it!
