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."
