The Central Arkansas Collective (ARC) is opening its annual call for potential membership. We are a professional artist group of individual members who contribute monthly dues to the shared cost of a new art gallery space in downtown Conway, Arkansas.

ARC exists to provide premiere exhibitions by professional artists and to contribute to the cultural life of the Central Arkansas community by working cooperatively to host visual art experiences and artist talks for the Conway Art Walk.

The deadline to submit all of the required information is on or before January 20th, 2025. The entire ARC membership votes on new prospective members. ARC will notify each applicant of the group's decision. The membership committee will notify accepted applications of next steps in the process.

In addition to filling out the form below, we ask that you email a high resolution PDF with work samples to centralarcollective@gmail.com.

In the subject line of the email please write your full name and ‘Member Submission’.

The PDF should be titled with your name and include:

• An artist statement and CV

• Images of 15-25 original works created within the last 5 years with information included regarding where the work was sold or exhibited

• Your website and social media links

The deadline to submit all of the required information is January 20th, 2025. You will be notified of next steps when the membership committee has reviewed your application.

ARC membership requires monthly dues of $100 to fund the shared costs of the collective, including gallery and operational expenses. Members will be asked to participate in various art-related events in downtown Conway, Arkansas.

A copy of the ARC Membership Policies and Procedures will be provided to accepted members for review before finalizing a membership agreement.
