What’s not to like about a show of over 80 paintings, themed to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the territory of Arkansas and Oklahoma, and traveling to eight venues in both states over two years? Absolutely nothing! The Arkansas Territory Exhibition has been a great success for artists and regional museums alike.
We are about half way into the schedule. Maybe two years is a bit long to keep paintings hostage in a traveling show, but the artists witnessing the renewed enthusiasm from each new opening, online or in-person, surely share in our renewed pleasure at it’s continual success. It’s worth noting that $11,000 worth of artwork has sold, with three of the sales in the past two weeks.
The board of Heart of America would like to thank the venues that have given the exhibition a strong showing: John Brown University, Cane Hill Museum, Historic Arkansas Museum, River Valley Arts Center, and currently the Charles B. Goddard Center for the Visual and Performing Arts.
The three remaining venues are as follows: South Arkansas Arts Center in El Dorado, AR, Leslie Powell Foundation Gallery in Lawton, OK, and Price Tower Arts Center in Bartlesville, OK. See a more detailed account of the schedule, and videos and photos celebrating the past year, HERE.
