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.
