The Batesville Area Arts Council (BAAC) is collaborating with Lyon College art students to host an Art Walk on Main Street Friday, May 5, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The event is a self-guided viewing of artwork in downtown Batesville and is free and open to the public for all ages.
The BAAC’s Gallery on Main (226 E Main) will also host a reception for their 11th annual National Juried Exhibition from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
This year’s exhibition, which runs through June 3, features the work of 16 artists from seven different states. The juror for BAAC’s 11th Annual National Juried Exhibition is Carey Voss, an Arkansas artist and curator of exhibits at the Historic Arkansas Museum in Little Rock. Members and exhibiting artists are invited to join us for a member-only happy hour at BAAC, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Awards will be announced starting at 6 p.m.
Lyon College Art students will have their artwork displayed on the third floor of Fellowship Bible Church, the former Landers Theater, 332 E. Main. Gallery 246 at 243 E. Main will also showcase their featured artist of the month, Jeanette Emerson, during the Art Walk.
