BPL for Makers

Tiny Art Show 2025 - Nature

Bentonville Public Library invites you to submit a masterpiece for our 2025 Tiny Art Show. This year we're celebrating our new outdoor spaces, spring, and our nature-loving community partners with the theme: Nature. 

And we're opening it up to Children, Teens, and Adults!

It's pretty simple...

Register below for a free canvas.*  Pick up your canvas March 3 - 10. Take it home and make your Nature-themed masterpiece. Bring it back to BPL by March 31 to be displayed throughout the month of April. Due to high demand, canvases not picked up before Monday, March 11 will be offered to others on the waiting list. IMPORTANT! One canvas will be provided per form, so every person wanting to complete tiny art will need to have a form completed separately. *Supplies and display space are limited. A follow up email will be sent notifying patrons if they can pick up their materials or are on a waiting list.
