Welcome Artists!

Important News!
ALA's 2026 Members' Show information has been announced with the show's opening scheduled for August 14th. Put it on your calendars.
Mr. Zach Wollert, Asst. Director of the Windgate Art School at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Art has agreed to be our esteemed judge for the event.
Specific dates, times and judged categories to be announced. Stay tuned in for details.
Please see our Events and News page for a list of the Winners as they're announced.
Some Quick Info About our meetings:
We typically meet at 6 pm on the last Tuesday of each month at the North Little Rock Community Center: 2700 Willow Street, directly across from the Hayes Center.
During these meetings we usually have a guest artist who provides a demonstration or a presentation of helpful tips and insights to inspire both the novice and accomplished artist.
We also hold a monthly art competition, so bring a recent piece of your artwork to share with the group. By entering, you get a chance to win one of 6 ribbon awards given to those artworks most admired by virtue of votes cast by members present.
Each winner then gets to display their artwork in a high-trafficked local business venue for the entire following month.
These venues include: The Art Group Gallery in WLR'S Pleasant Ridge Towne Center; The Draft and Table restaurant in NLR's Argenta District; Buenos Aires Restaurant in LR's River Market area; The renowned Lindsay's Hospitality House and BBQ in NLR; Pyramid Art Books & Custom Framing near Downtown Little Rock; and, the prestigious Red Door Gallery in NLR's Park Hill District.
Each location provides an excellent opportunity to get your work "out there" for viewing by the greater public eye. (Make sure you have your art at the meeting before the voting begins at 6 pm.)
We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming meeting! You can find more information about ALA here. Oh, and Follow us on social media for more frequent posts. Our FB and Instagram links are at the bottom of this page.
