Purchase Texarkana Solar Eclipse Glasses at the Regional Arts Center

The Texarkana Regional Arts and Humanities Council’s 2024 Adult Juried Exhibition featured more than 100 accepted pieces of art from both local and national artists. The pieces on display range in medium, including painting, embroidery, photography, drawing, sculpture and printmaking among others.

Dr. Trina Harlow, juror, specifically sought out technique, composition, skill, craftsmanship and story in the pieces she selected.

“As I juried this exhibition, I sat and studied the entries and tried to step into the story the artist was telling OR my visual processing imagined the story that I thought was told by each piece of art. There were hints of family members, memories of childhood, awakened and remembered history, flora and fauna, naturescapes, emotion, the supernatural, landscapes and cityscapes, seasons of life and time, scenes of patience and thought and pausing in moments of time, representative and non-representative art, and outstanding creative expression from new and experienced artists,” Dr. Harlow said in her Juror Statement.

“It gives artists a place to show, and for a lot of the local artists, it’s the first venue into professional exhibition. That’s a really important thing for them. For the people of Texarkana, it gives them a chance to see art from all around the country and sometimes from other countries,
right here,” said Kay Thomas, interim director of visual arts.
