The UA Little Rock artWORKS Artist Workshop Series provides a learning community dedicated to creativity and growth through the making and understanding of the visual arts. The artWORKS series provides a hands-on learning experience for local, regional, and national artists and artisans, students, and art educators. The program is unique due to its affiliation and location on a metropolitan university campus that has much to offer in terms of location, facilities, and opportunities.
The artWORKS program strives to enrich participants by teaching skills, ideas, and the personal value of creating art. The program is inclusive of all levels of artistic experience and backgrounds, from the true beginner, to the art educator, to the professional artist, and everything in-between. The program promotes inspiration, artistic and personal growth, and community.

You must be at least 18 years old to register for artWORKS.
UA Little Rock’s artWORKS registrations are accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis according to the date and time they are received in the UA Little Rock Department of Art’s office.
artWORKS reserves the right to cancel the registration of any participant whose behavior unduly disrupts the learning environment for others.
artWORKS will send a confirmation letter, supply list (depending on workshop), and daily schedule upon receipt of your registration. Your confirmation and workshop information will be sent via e-mail in PDF form, unless marked otherwise on a registration form.
Participants are responsible for notifying artWORKS of changes to their registration status. Notification of cancellation must be in writing and can be emailed to [email protected]. Since spaces are limited in the workshops, please try to give notification of cancellation several days prior to the start of the workshop.
When a workshop fills, we start a waiting list. There will be no charge to be on the waiting list. If space becomes available, we will contact the first person on the list. Each person has 24 hours to register before we move on to the next person on the list. If a space becomes available within 30 days of the start of a workshop, the registrar may call or email all persons on the waiting list and the space will be given to whomever registers first.
Occasionally artWORKS must cancel a workshop due to unforeseen circumstances. We will notify you if the workshop for which you have registered has been cancelled. Notification of cancellation will normally occur 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the workshop; in rare cases, however, it may be less. UA Little Rock’s artWORKS is not responsible for losses incurred on travel arrangements.

UA Little Rock is pleased to host internationally acclaimed artist Ann Hamilton as part or our Windgate Distinguished Lecturer Series.
Ann Hamilton is a visual artist internationally recognized for her large-scale multimedia installations, public projects, and performance collaborations. Responsive to the contingencies of the sites where she works, her recurring forms – cloth, texts spoken and written, animals, and people suspended or in motion – immerse viewers in an atmosphere both visceral and literary, individual and collective, animate and inanimate, silent and spoken.
Born in Lima, Ohio, in 1956, Ann Hamilton received a BFA in textile design from the University of Kansas in 1979 and an MFA in sculpture from the Yale School of Art in 1985. From 1985 to 1991, she taught on the faculty of the University of California at Santa Barbara. Hamilton has served on the faculty of The Ohio State University since 2001, where she is a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in the Department of Art.
Among her many honors, Hamilton has been the recipient of the National Medal of the Arts, Heinz Award, MacArthur Fellowship, United States Artists Fellowship, NEA Visual Arts Fellowship, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture, and the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. She represented the United States in the 1991 Sao Paulo Biennial and the 1999 Venice Biennale. She currently serves as a board member to The Wexner Center for the Arts, The American Academy in Rome, United States Artists, and The American Academy of Arts and Letters.
