Local artists featured at Arts Center

— Local artist Jeannie Stone is the July featured artist at the River Valley Arts Center in Russellville, along with Small Works on Paper, a juried touring exhibition from the Arkansas Arts Council that is showing in 11 galleries in the state. David Mudrinich of Arkansas Tech University has a piece featured in the exhibition, in addition to artists from all over Arkansas.

Both exhibits will remain open to the public throughout June from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays.

This year’s Small Works exhibition was juried by Suzanne Bloom, a professor of art at the University of Houston. More than 300 pieces were submitted. Bloom said it took her several days and much deliberation to finalize her selections for the exhibition.

“Given the diversity and overall quality of the work submitted, I began to wish that the number of works I could select was 80 rather than up to 40,” she said.
