‘62nd Annual Delta Exhibition’ picks artists.
More than half of the 63 works accepted into the Arkansas Arts Center’s “62nd Annual Delta Exhibition” were made by the state’s resident artists. The exhibition will be presented online this year beginning June 19.
Open to artists born in or living in Arkansas and its border states, the Delta was founded in 1958 and features works in all media. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with Historic Arkansas Museum, Thea Foundation, Acansa Gallery and the Argenta Branch of the William F. Laman Library.
Stefanie Fedor, executive director of the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, Va., is the juror of this year’s “Delta.” She chose those 63 works from 772 entries by 348 artists. Fedor will name a Grand Award winner and two Delta Award winners.
The Contemporaries, an auxiliary membership group of the Arkansas Arts Center, will select a Contemporaries
Award winner. Fedor will announce the award winners in a virtual event June 18.
