The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts is treasure nestled in the heart of Little Rock, easily accessible for both locals and tourists. During my visit, they had an exhibition for Native American artists and I was pleasantly surprised by the Pablo Picasso pieces that were on loan to this museum. Beautifully curated selection of artworks in a building that I consider art itself because of the amazing design and windowed 2nd floor that overlooks Little Rock! They also offer fun, hands on courses for all types of art including painting, sculpting, and even jewelry making. I did not have time to take any courses though. I spent roughly 2 hours and was able to see everything! Whether you have a couple of hours to spare or a whole day, the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts is highly recommended for anyone with an appreciation for art. A MUST SEE destination in Little Rock!

They have tons of local and regional art - many of my favorite local artists, actually. The building is brand new - well designed, well laid out, and overall very clean and organized. They also have large, rotating exhibits, which never cease to impress. ASI also participates in Second Friday Night Art Walk. You can have some food and drink, while socializing and admiring/purchasing some great art work. You may even have a chance to meet some of the featured artists. Check it out!

Well, I landed late, it took me longer to get my rental car than anticipated, I checked into my Airbnb and finally got here on a Thursday at around 4:30 pm. With HIGH aspirations I set out to do a mosaic of a bird. The girl (I think her name was Rose , my apologies if it's not) at the front gave me my options, explained how everything worked and the set me up at my very own table. She pulled out all of the containers, taught me how to use the tile/glass snipper and explained how to glue the pieces to the board. Cool. Easy. Let's do this! Well, I spent the first hour trying to "make" my pieces of my mosaic bird. I purposely did NOT glue anything down before figuring out what it was going to look like. Rose kept coming back to ask how I was doing and if I needed anything. She was excellently attentive. She even complemented me on my progress. I had to give her a side eye though...at that point my bird DID NOT look like a bird! Hahahah. So I decided I needed to pivot, geometric shapes it is, let's just make this look halfway decent! In my last 30 minutes I put something together, got 98% of it glued down and was satisfied with my pivot. Rose came to me at 5:57 pm, and said we're closing soon, but no rush. I'm from Los Angeles, when they come and say that to you they usually mean, hurry up, I need to close, I've got dinner plans at 6:30! Bless her heart....I always wanted to use that phrase. She was amazing, she really didn't rush me and helped me get packed. She brought everything I'd need to finish my project and gave me some directions to read the directions on the grout cover. I highly recommend this spot for DIY art. They're super helpful and very polite. All of the necessary tools are right there. Great for a small group or individual. There's lots of free parking right out front on the street.

They should really put a sign outside saying they've reorganized and cleaned up and have three levels of books. Otherwise people who stopped by when it was old and crappy won't even know.

It is a GREAT used bookstore and would be so in any city. + Handsome--hardwood floors and copious natural light + Four floors of stock + Tidy and well organized + Exceptional variety of subjects and genres + All books in good condition or better (most better) + Staggeringly low prices (to a Chicagoan) + LPs and DVDs Plus, they are operated by the Central Arkansas Library System, so I hope and assume that proceeds from the store benefit the libraries, which is always awesome. On top of all that, I finally found a book here for which I had been searching through dozens of bookstores in several cities for over a year. And although I would have happily taken a shabby paperback, what I found was a boxed, cloth-bound Library of America edition, including several of the author's other works--FOR ONLY SIX DOLLARS! That kind of bookstore good fortune is extraordinary.
