The 9th Annual Delta Visual Arts Show will be held Saturday, February 25 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in downtown Newport, Arkansas. The festival features visual artists from the Arkansas and Mississippi Delta and those who feature the Delta in their works.
The project began when Newport native John Conner III suggested it as a Clinton School community engagement project. Working with the Newport Economic Development Commission and the Iron Mountain Regional Arts Council, Clinton School students helped develop the first festival which attracted 14 artists. The festival has successfully expanded over the years and over 180 artists, authors, and musicians will be participating this year.
