Arkansas is known for its lush natural features, but those who know Little Rock best know it’s a rare tapestry of culture and community.
In honor of that landscape, we set out on our yearly quest to explore the art of our city. These pieces and places go beyond gleaming halls and into the intimate showrooms and the towering murals that become the familiar backdrop of our daily lives.
Sketches and sculptures, pastels and portraits, international and neighborhood artists, you’ll find it all in our annual guide to Little Rock art galleries and public art.
