38th Toys Designed by Artists

Today I received an email informing me that the G23 Pneum-O-Matic has been accepted for the 38th Toys Designed by Artists at Arkansas Arts Center from November 21st to January 6th! So if your in Little Rock around then, stop by, have a look, and enjoy all the great work that will be on display during the event!

Show Synopsis  

"The Toys Designed By Artists exhibition engages museum visitors, delighting young and old alike. In 1973, the Arkansas Arts Center initiated an exhibition of toys designed by artists. Inspired by Alexander Calder's circus figures of the late 1920s and early 1930s, this exhibition was launched to stimulate the imagination of both children and adults and to engage them with toys of whimsy, delight and good craftsmanship. The tradition continues this season with the 38th Toys Designed by Artists. This international juried exhibition challenges artists to take the concept of "toy" and make a personal expression - a piece of art. The wildly inventive toys selected often hearken back to the days before plastic and mass production, when all toys were handmade and, whether simple or elaborate, engaged the imagination of both maker and user."
