September 2024 Membership Show

WE’RE BACK!

September 3 – September 25, 2024

Life Styles • Blair Center for the Arts

  We are back and ready for a Membership Show. So let get ready to hang.

ANA was contacted after the May storm by Life Styles at the Blair Center for the Arts, to host an upcoming show for the ANA membership. The facility is located just north of the mall in Fayetteville between Fayetteville and Springdale.

The ANA Members Exhibition is open to all current members of Artists of Northwest Arkansas (ANA). This is a public family-oriented exhibition. There will be an Artist Reception for the show and the exhibition will be open for viewing during regular 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. The ANA Members Exhibit is a volunteer exhibit so we hang at your own risk.
