Established in 1991, the annual Governor's Arts Awards program recognizes Arkansas artists, arts patrons, arts educators, arts organizations and businesses for their outstanding contributions to the arts community.

Recipients are nominated by the public, then selected by an independent panel of arts professionals from around the state. Each recipient receives an original work of art created by an Arkansas artist.

The deadline to make a nomination for the 2026 Governor's Arts Awards is Sept. 5.

The ARTx3 Campus will host an opening reception from 5-7 p.m. Friday, March 14, for “Pushing Forward: Politics, Social Conflict, and the Racial Divide in the Art of Kevin Cole” at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, 701 S. Main St. in Pine Bluff. The reception is open to the public and free.

Cole’s “Pushing Forward” is a collection of the Pine Bluff native’s paintings, prints, and sculptures developed throughout his career. Cole’s works are imbued with symbolism that speaks to the weight of racial injustice. The exhibition is sponsored by Simmons Bank.
