• Saturday May 14 – 13th Annual Group Invitational Theme Show – “CATS & DOGS”
Over 30 area artists were invited to interpret this year’s theme, “CATS & DOGS”, in their own original style and in their choice of medium/s, the only limitations being the size and scope of their imaginations.

The show will be on display all day Saturday and everyone is invited to come by and cast their vote for the “People’s Choice Award.” The winner will be announced that evening at the artists’ reception from 6:00 P.M. until 9:00 P.M.

Happy Holidays!!

The holidays are showcased throughout the month of December by the entire city of Eureka Springs, and during this time our galleries are shining even more than we do the rest of the year — if that’s possible!

December brings you the final gallery stroll of 2010. Throughout the year, we have featured world-class artists and had parties to remember. We have had giveaways through our punch-card promotion in August and numerous other benefits to help promote wonderful non-profit causes in Eureka Springs.

Now we offer you the most unique and perfect gifts for your holiday giving. Visit our member galleries for a very special shopping experience. If you’ve been here before, you know the peace and joy we have to offer during this special season. The Art of Eureka must be experienced!
