Apply to join The Art Gallery at NWA Mall as an ongoing Member Artist. Please note that applying does not guarantee admission into the gallery. Applicants will normally receive a response by email within 5 business days. If the gallery is currently at capacity, approved artists will be placed on the gallery's Curated Wait List. 

We are a different type of art gallery. This gallery is managed by a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization in space donated by the NWA Mall. There are no employees. It is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors who themselves are local gallery artists. The gallery is staffed by the gallery artists themselves who volunteer a minimum of 8 hours per month to run the gallery by staffing it and do needed gallery tasks. Artists keep 100% of their sales. Artists also pay monthly dues of either $60 per month or $30 per month.

Due to our focus on serving our local Community, only local artists living in Washington County or Benton County Arkansas are permitted to exhibit in this gallery.

In addition to exhibiting curated art by local Emerging Artists, our Gallery’s other Non Profit Missions include:

  • Free art classes offered to the Public as part of our Community Outreach.

  • Local children’s K-12 artwork brought in by Art Teachers and other Community Leaders for rotating K-12 Art Exhibits during the year.
