ArkansasArtists.com New Membership Guidelines!

We have experienced overwhelming response by Artists and Musicians from our state. Our website hits per day are in the hundreds and ArkansasArtists.com pops up first when you Google Arkansas Artists. We try to keep our community up to date on upcoming events. Just recently an out of state developer contacted us to purchase a painting for a project that will open later this month at the Little Rock Airport and will buy two of our artist's submissions. We want to keep the site free for our Artists but we have to have income to try to grow our site and be of continuing value to Artists from our state. Therefore we have established the following new membership guidelines:

Free Membership - Includes your picture, bio with email address and four pictures of your work that do not change.
Bronze Membership $25.00 per year - Your picture, bio with email address and four pictures of your work that you can change out twice a year.
Silver Membership $50.00 per year - Your picture, bio with email address, phone number, website link and six pictures of your work that you can you can change out four times per year.
Gold Membership $100.00 per year - Your picture, bio with email address, phone number, website link and eight pictures of your work with size and medium that you can change out six times per year. We will also include the galleries or restaurants where your work can be seen as long as they are an ArkansasArtists.com sponsor.


Keep in mind, when you Google my name it takes you to my page at ArkansasArtists.com so there is no need to have the expense of creating and maintaining your own website. We support the arts and our members and are starting to catch the eys of art collectors and placement companies from outside our state. I personally received a commision to do a piece for UAMS from an art placement firm out of Texas that found our website online through a Google search. We will continue to update our Artists and Art Patrons with alll the latest news and events on Art and Music in our state via our ArkansasArtists.com newsletter, just click on the links in Quick Links or copy and paste the link to your internet browser.

New ArkansasArtists.com Loft Work Space and Gallery in Downtown Little Rock!




Matt Lile and ArkansasArtists.com are in the process of developing an Artists Loft Work space in the historic Mathis Building above Lulav’s Eatery on the corner of 6th and Center Street in beautiful downtown Little Rock. We will be able to accommodate approximately 18 to 20 Artists in an environment that will absolutely inspire your creativity.

Picture, if you will separate work areas where you can set up multiple canvas to work on while you sip your favorite wine and listen to soothing inspiring music from an outstanding sound system. If you’re hungry you can walk downstairs to dine in or order the exquisite cuisine from one of Little Rock’s finest chefs delivered up to your work space.

When you at a stopping point in your work you simply lock your supplies in your personal cabinet and leave your paintings to dry. You will have a code to enter the building whenever your feeling inspired any time of day and when your work is complete you are welcome to hang you work throughout the historic Mathis Building and Lulav’s restaurant with your bio and your selling price.

The spaces will lease for 75 dollars per month and there will be 20 % commission for selling your work if you choose to display it in the gallery and throughout the building. All your work will be insured and payments received for your work will be paid at the end of each week.

Since space is limited we need your indication of interest as soon as possible. There is metered parking along the street and ample parking space by the hour or month across the street. The Loft is under construction and but you are welcome to visit the building for a tour of the Artist’s Work Space and the Gallery area as well as stop in and have dinner at Lulav’s .

The Mathis building address is 220 West 6th Street between Louisiana and Center Streets and you can enter through the lobby next to Lulav. Send me your questions via email at lcogbill@comcast.net or call my cell 501 416-7266.
