Invitation to all ArkansasArtists
This is an invitation to all ArkansasArtists that would like to paint in the gardens at the Governor’s Mansion on Wednesday or Thursday, April 8th and 9th. They have just recently completed the formal gardens designed by P.Allan Smith and are hoping that artists will donate a 12"x16" painting to the Gardens Fundraising event on Friday, April 11th. All canvas boards will be supplied, so all you need to do is bring your paints and spend some time in the beautiful garden. Please let Bess Sanders know ASAP and also state your medium. RSVP to gallerycentral@sbcglobal.net
Arkansas Artists Calendar 2009
Calling all ArkansasArtists:
The Governor and Ginger Beebe enjoy welcoming many visitors to our State and to their beautiful home, the Governor’s Mansion. As the cultural community in Arkansas expands its literary, performance, and visual arts offerings, the Mansion Association and Ginger Beebe continue to work closely together to secure and display the work of Arkansas artists throughout the Mansion.
Last year, the Mansion Art Committee initiated the first Arkansas Artists Calendar, a day-planner featuring the work of ninety artists from our State. Because of their initial success, the Committee is planning to publish a 2009 desk calendar featuring two- and three-dimensional artwork produced by Arkansas artists. A panel of jurors will choose the works to be included in the calendar, and from those entries, several will be purchased for the Mansion’s private collection. We hope that each of you will participate in this project.
All artists who submit an image for consideration, as well as all sponsors of the day-planner calendar, are invited to join the Governor and Ginger Beebe for a reception on Wednesday, September 10, 2008, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We deeply appreciate your participation and support of the arts in Arkansas, and we look forward to seeing you at the reception.

Pulaski Heights Picassos
Join us for the 10th annual Pulaski Heights Picassos benefiting Pulaski Heights Elementary. This casual event boasts art from over 100 adult artists and 325 budding Picassos from PHE. Fabulous food, beverages and a kids’ café are part of the fun!
This has become such an important event, not only to our school, but to the larger community. In the past, we’ve had an average attendance of 500 people. Between 120-150 adult/professional artists contribute artwork to the event, and we also sell our students’ artwork. Most artwork is sold through the silent auction, but we normally reserve 10-15 pieces to be auctioned live.
Funds raised through this event are used to support PTA projects and programs, including paying for Spanish language instruction for all of our students, purchasing books for the library, offering teachers grants for special projects, enhancing our visual arts and music education programs, etc.
Tickets are $5 per child and $10 per adult. Food and beverages (both for kids and adults) are included in the ticket price. This is a casual event and all are welcome.
