Since opening in 2023, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts has elevated Little Rock’s cultural scene with world-class exhibitions and programming that appeals to all the senses. Now, they’re expanding that impact with their first-ever Art Market, a shopping experience that invites patrons to grow their fine art collections by providing access to creatives from around the region. “We consistently heard from guests that they enjoyed discovering new artists and collecting art as a form of inspiration and self-expression,” says executive director Dr. Victoria Ramirez. “AMFA’s Museum Store has done a phenomenal job fulfilling this need in the community, but we wanted to expand that experience.”
“Our intention is to grow the AMFA Art Market year-over-year and become an annual destination for anyone in our region who values art and community.”
—Dr. Victoria Ramirez, Executive Director for the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts
The Art Market will take over the museum September 4-7 with booths representing artists from neighboring states and beyond. “The Windgate Art School will also host a rotation of emerging Arkansas artists throughout the weekend, several of whom are Windgate Art School instructors,” Dr. Ramirez says. Artists will be present at their booths to connect with guests and answer questions about their processes and visions, making for an art-buying experience unlike any other. Additionally, expect a special menu from Park Grill, food and beverages in the Cultural Living Room, and a schedule of lectures from local gallery owners on topics like framing fine art, having pieces appraised, and getting your collection started. After kicking off with receptions for members and corporate partners, the main event September 6-7 is free and open to the public. Find out more about the Art Market at arkmfa.org.
