August 2022 Membership Show

“Happiness is Contagious” so let’s spread a little happiness in August.

It’s time for our August Membership Show. We are in still in the midst of summer, so let hang a red hot show. The Art on the Bricks theme in August is “Happiness is Contagious” so let’s catch and spread it in this show.

The ANA Members Exhibition is open to all current members of Artists of Northwest Arkansas (ANA). This is a public exhibition held in the ANA Gallery and throughout the Rogers Experimental House (RXH) facility. This includes the lobby, the glass galleries by the entrance and the common area in the large room. Both the ANA Gallery and the RXH use a hanging system so all works must be ready to hang. There will be an Artist Reception for the show and the exhibition will be open for viewing during regular ANA Gallery business hours. At the close of the show the members are required to pick up their art work on the days specified or make arrangements for someone to do so for them. Artworks for sale in the ANA Members Exhibit are subject to a 20% commission unless otherwise noted. The ANA Members Exhibit is a volunteer exhibit so we hang at your own risk.

ARTIST RECEPTION
