The Arkansas Arts Center, the state’s premiere center for visual and performing arts with a renowned collection of international art, will host its annual Museum School Sale on Saturday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year’s event will feature nearly 100 local artists at a new and larger location: Hall of Industry, Arkansas State Fairgrounds (2600 Howard Street, Little Rock).

“The Museum School Sale is a great opportunity to support local artists while stocking up on unique holiday items or adding to your personal art collection,” said Arkansas Arts Center Executive Director Todd Herman. “We’re looking forward to hosting the Museum School Sale at the recently renovated Arkansas State Fairgrounds. The change of venue allows us more space to feature more artists.”

To match the growing trend of earlier holiday shopping, the Museum School Sale date has also been moved up to two weeks prior to Thanksgiving, November 14.

Current Arkansas Arts Center Museum School faculty and students will offer a variety of original, one-of-a-kind items including pottery, jewelry, fused glass, paintings, woodwork, photography, drawings and pastels. There is something for every design aesthetic and every budget.

Become a member of the Arkansas Arts Center and attend the special members-only preview for the sale on Friday, November 13, from 6-9 p.m. at the Hall of Industry. Arkansas Arts Center members will be able to view and purchase items before the sale opens to the public on Saturday, November 14. Light hors d’oeuvres and libations will be served. Members must present their membership card at the door for entry, and memberships will be available for purchase at the door.

Admission is free. Cash and checks are accepted, and ATMs are available; some artists may accept credit cards. Free, secure parking. For more information, visit arkansasartscenter.org or call 501-372-4000.
