The exhibition includes the work of women artists who were selected for consideration for the National Museum of Women in the Arts’ (NMWA) “Body of Work” exhibit as part of the NMWA’s biennial Women to Watch series. NMWA’s Women to Watch exhibition series features emerging or under-represented artists from the states and countries in which the museum has outreach committees. The committees participating in the “Body of Work” exhibition worked with contemporary art curators in their respective regions to create short lists of figurative painters from their areas. American artist and curator, Les Christensen of the Bradbury Gallery in Jonesboro, Arkansas gathered the nominees: Catherine Brimberry, Emily Wood, Endia Gomez, Janet Frankovic, Nikki Hemphill, Ruth Pasquine, and Thu Nguyen for submission to the national exhibit. NMWA contemporary curator Kathryn A. Wat ultimately chose Nikki Hemphill of Harrison to represent the state of Arkansas. The Arkansas Women to Watch 2011 Exhibition also includes a selection of work from photographer Deborah Warren (Women to Watch 2007). Work by Catherine Brimberry was not available for the state-wide exhibition. The Arkansas Committee is proud to sponsor the 10th Women to Watch (from the States) exhibition of Arkansas women artists. Since 1991, the Arkansas Committee has exhibited the work of over 500 Arkansas women artists in Washington, D.C., Germany, and throughout the state. The 2011 Arkansas Women to Watch Exhibition represents very seasoned artists, along with new artists just emerging on the Arkansas scene.
