“We are excited to be able to recognize the wonderful and diverse talent of visual artists throughout Arkansas,” said Stacy Hurst, secretary for the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism. “Small Works on Paper showcases artists from every corner of our state and gives art lovers the opportunity to discover emerging artists and experience one-of-a-kind artworks they may otherwise never see.”
Small Works on Paper is a juried exhibition that showcases artwork by Arkansas artists that is no larger than 18 by 24 inches. This year’s exhibition features two works by Batesville artist Ian Scott Campbell, along with the work of 25 other Arkansas artists. The yearlong show travels to 10 galleries statewide.
The touring schedule is available at arkansasarts.org.
The 2021 Small Works on Paper entries were juried by Judy Ledgerwood, professional artist and recently retired Professor in the Arts in the department of Art Theory and Practice at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Ledgerwood reviewed about 200 submitted artworks to pick out the 38 pieces that are part of the Small Works on Paper exhibition.

Giving Tree Grants-Cleburne County Community Foundation Deadline
2021-02-15
Grants Available for Charitable Programs in
Cleburne County
Community Foundation Accepting Online Grant Applications January 10 – February 15
Heber Springs, Ark. (January 6, 2021) – Nonprofits in Cleburne County can go to arcf.org/givingtree beginning January 10 to apply online for grants through Cleburne County Community Foundation, an affiliate of Arkansas Community Foundation. Applications must be submitted online by February 15.
“Since our affiliate was formed in 2004, we’ve awarded $938,000 in grants to benefit Cleburne County,” said Susan Vowels, Executive Director. One of our grantees, The CALL of Cleburne County received a grant to educate foster families to be equipped with skills that are useful when foster children are placed in their homes.
This year, the Community Foundation is accepting two different kinds of proposals
1. Projects with a special emphasis on early literacy are eligible for Early Literacy grants. Applicants who fit into this focus area should look for the application titled “Early Literacy.” Proposals for Early Literacy should be aimed at increasing local students’ literacy through one or more of five focus areas: 1) parent and community engagement, 2) school readiness, 3) classroom instruction, 4) chronic absence prevention and intervention, or 5) summer learning loss prevention. Emphasis should be on children ages 0 to 8.
2. Proposals serving all other charitable purposes in Cleburne County are eligible for Giving Tree Grants, which typically range from $500 to $2500. At this time, the Community Foundation is not considering grant requests from organizations outside Cleburne County, even though services may be provided in this area people in Cleburne County. Applications for causes other than literacy can be submitted by completing the Giving Tree application.
The deadline for both applications is February 15.
Any IRS 501(c)(3) public charity, public school, government agency or hospital in Cleburne County is eligible to apply. Other applicants may be considered if the project has a clear charitable purpose for the public benefit. Grants are not made to individuals. Applications will be reviewed by a grantmaking committee from Cleburne County Community Foundation.
“Through local Giving Tree grants, our state’s nonprofit organizations find support as they implement great ideas to improve their communities,” said Heather Larkin, president and CEO of the Community Foundation. “Giving Tree grants are selected by local people in each of our affiliate areas and awarded to local organizations.”
Funding for the Giving Tree program comes from hundreds of Arkansas donors who support the work of the Community Foundation.
Arkansas Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization that fosters smart giving to improve communities. The Community Foundation offers tools to help Arkansans protect, grow and direct their charitable dollars as they learn more about community needs. By making grants and sharing knowledge, the Community Foundation supports charitable programs that work for Arkansas and partners to create new initiatives that address the gaps. Since 1976, the Community Foundation has provided more than $314 million in grants and partnered with thousands of Arkansans to help them improve our neighborhoods, our towns and our entire state. Contributions to the Community Foundation, its funds and any of its 29 affiliates are fully tax deductible.

Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Continues 2020-2021 Mainstage Season with "Serenades"
2021-02-27 15:00 - 2021-03-28 17:00
The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra presents the second concert of the 2020-2021 Stella Boyle Smith Masterworks Series. Serenades will be streamed from the Robinson Center on February 27 at 7:30 p.m. and February 28 at 3:00 p.m. Due to health and safety precautions, the program will be presented virtually, available for a minimum donation of $10. Concert information and the stream are available at www.ArkansasSymphony.org/serenades. The Stella Boyle Smith Trust is the Masterworks Series sponsor.

The ASO will perform music from Romantic composers Richard Strauss and Antonin Dvorak. Strauss’s work for strings and Dvorak’s work for wind ensemble are “serenades,” a genre of orchestral writing that flourished during the Classic period, with the most famous example Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart. Serenades were originally written for outdoor special occasions, such as garden parties, and tend to be light and refreshing in nature. Interim Artistic Director Geoffrey Robson said, “If the first Masterworks program was a reintroduction to the sound of orchestra strings, this program does the same for wind instruments.”

The 2020-2021 Stella Boyle Smith Masterworks series was initially scheduled to start in September of 2020, but the season was postponed due to the pandemic. ASO will present Serenades virtually, and the orchestra will announce plans for the March, April, and May programs closer to the events.

The public release of Serenades has been rescheduled from February 20th and 21st to February 27th and 28th. This schedule change will allow more time for editing and producing the virtual concert for the best viewing experience.
