The 5th Annual Arkansas Sculpture Invitational is a juried invitational show and sale open to all sculptors who reside in the Mid America Arts Alliance states of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and Arkansas. This will be the first year that the Arkansas Sculpture Invitational has been open to sculptors outside the state of Arkansas.
Morrilton is a unique city, combining the quality and culture of larger metropolitan areas with the warm hospitality of small town America. “Small city, No Limits” “More than a motto”. Petit Jean Mountain, home of Arkansas’ first state park, is just a short drive from downtown Morrilton.
The opening day of the Arkansas Sculpture Invitational is also the end of the annual antique car show and the City estimates around 10,000 people will already be in town for the car show based on previous attendance.
