Creators chosen for Featured Artists Show

By Ethan Nahté

The following five artists: Rod Kidwell, Ann Glenn, Debra Bell, Theresa Grillo Laird, and Danette Steele were selected by a random drawing to exhibit their art in the new Featured Artists Show opening at Mena Art Gallery, Jan. 3.

This is a three-week show that will be on display Jan. 3-20. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to see a collection of work including pieces never-before shown in Mena. This show is different in that it allows artists to exhibit pieces that they have made throughout their lives in various mediums and including things not for sale from private collections of their work.

The show will be followed by the 2024 Young Artists Show, which runs Jan. 24-Feb. 16. The deadline to enter the Young Artists Show is Jan. 20. Details can be found in the Dec. 13, 2023, edition of The Pulse. It can be found online at My Pulse News.

Now that the Christmas holiday is over, the Gallery, located at 607 Mena St. has returned to its normal operating schedule, 10a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday-Saturday. For questions about the Featured Artists Show or the Young Artists Show, contact the Gallery at email@menaartgallery.org or call 479-394-3880 during their regular operating hours.
