Arkansas Arts Council

I am more than honored to have been chosen to be a part of this year’s SWOP show.

Now in its 36th year, Small Works on Paper is a juried visual art exhibition that showcases 2-D artwork no larger than 18 x 24 inches by Arkansas artists. The Small Works on Paper exhibition travels to up to 10 venues throughout the state in a yearlong show, offering Arkansas artists an extraordinary opportunity to showcase their artwork to patrons all over the state. An out-of-state juror selects a maximum of 40 pieces of artwork to tour with the exhibition.

The 2023 juror is Margaret LeJeune, Associate Professor of Photography in the Department of Art and Design at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. LeJeune holds an MFA degree in Photography/Visual Studies from the Visual Studies Workshop, in Rochester, New York. Her work has been exhibited in both juried and invitational exhibitions. She is a frequent invited lecturer, artist-in-residence and arts conference panelist. LeJeune serves on the board of directors for the Society for Photographic Education and is a member of the Environmental Photographers Collective.
