The ARTx3 Campus will host a free public reception for the 38th annual Small Works on Paper exhibition from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, June 12, at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas.

The traveling exhibition, organized and sponsored by the Arkansas Arts Council, is on view from Friday, June 6, through Saturday, June 28, in ASC’s Ben J. Altheimer Gallery.

Small Works on Paper showcases two-dimensional artwork no larger than 18-by-24 inches, and spotlights members of the Arkansas Artist Registry. The exhibition will travel to nine venues throughout the state in this yearlong show. This year's exhibition features 40 works by 35 artists.

This year’s exhibition features my 7x7 watercolor piece, Provenance. This work explores questions of chronology, ownership, custody, and the location of historical objects, as well as the challenges of determining their provenance and authenticity. It examines how objects considered to be art are often subject to evolving interpretations over time.
