37th Toys Designed by Artists Competition

This delightful and ever popular competition was created to recognize and celebrate the playful side in each of us – artists and viewers alike.

Toys may be functional, nonfunctional, child friendly, child proof, too delicate or scary to touch, or begging for tactile tinkering. Successful entries are creative, original, featuring excellence of design and superior craftsmanship.

Purchase awards totaling up to $2500 will be chosen by the Arkansas Arts Center.

Objective

The juror selects the exhibition based digital image submissions. Medium resolution images are preferred. Resolution is sufficient when the image is easily viewed on an average size computer monitor.

Keep images free of identifying information (artist name, etc.,) as this information will require cropping the image. Works with multiple components must be represented by at least one image which shows the complete work arranged for display.

Prizes

Purchase awards totaling up to $2500 will be chosen by the Arkansas Arts Center after the selected works have arrived.

Works purchased through an award will become part of the Arkansas Arts Center’s Foundation Collection.
