2026 Pine Bluff Art League Exhibition

PINE BLUFF, Ark. — The ARTx3 Campus will present the 2026 Pine Bluff Art League Exhibition from Aug. 27 to Nov. 20 in the Kline Family Foundation Gallery at The ARTSpace on Main, 623 S. Main St. 

An opening reception and awards presentation will be from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27. The event is free and open to the public.

The annual juried exhibition showcases works by members of the Pine Bluff Art League. Carey Voss, curator of exhibits at the Historic Arkansas Museum, will serve as this year’s juror. She will present awards for Best in Show, first place, second place, third place and two honorable mentions at 5:30 p.m.

Works featured in the exhibition will be available for purchase.

The exhibition continues a long-standing partnership between the Pine Bluff Art League and The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas.

“The Arts & Science Center provides a wonderful venue for the members of the Pine Bluff Art League to exhibit their favorite works each year to the general public in an atmosphere of community and goodwill,” said Gerry DeLongchamp, Pine Bluff Art League co-chair. “The Pine Bluff Art League is open to members interested in art, from beginners to professionals. It is important for us to work with and support The Arts & Science Center in encouraging the creative arts in our community. I encourage the community to get involved with both The Arts & Science Center and the Pine Bluff Art League.”

The reception gives participating artists an opportunity to celebrate with fellow league members, family, friends and the community while exchanging ideas and discovering techniques to explore in their future work.

“We progress as artists by sharing our work and gaining new ideas for the year and new techniques to explore before the next exhibition,” said Claudia Spainhour, Pine Bluff Art League co-chair. “The members greatly appreciate the support of The Arts & Science Center and all of the work it takes to continue having our juried exhibition.”
Pine Bluff Sand & Gravel Co. sponsors the exhibition.
