LITTLE ROCK — As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence in 2026, Arkansas is highlighting its own rich history through the arts. The Arkansas250 Commission, the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism, and the Arkansas Arts Council are issuing a call for a commissioned artwork that reflects Arkansas’ history, culture and contributions to the nation.

This special semiquincentennial artwork will serve as a lasting tribute to Arkansas’ role in shaping the American story. kAm“pCE 92D 2=H2JD 366? @?6 @7 E96 >@DE A@H6C7F= H2JD E@ E6== 2 DE@CJ[ 2?5 E9:D 4@>>:DD:@?65 A:646 H:== 96=A 42AEFC6 pC<2?D2D’ C@=6 :? p>6C:42’D ;@FC?6J @G6C E96 A2DE ad_ J62CD[” D2:5 $962 {6H:D[ $64C6E2CJ @7 E96 pC<2?D2D s6A2CE>6?E @7 !2C<D[ w6C:E286[ 2?5 %@FC:D> 2?5 r92:C @7 E96 pC<2?D2Dad_ r@>
