Fenix Arts

Fenix Arts seeks to support and nurture the established, emerging, and underrepresented artist community in NWA. We are committed to providing opportunities for collaboration and connectivity across art disciplines and creating opportunities for community involvement in the arts.

Rebirth & Taking Flight

2020 saw great changes for Fenix Arts. We received non-profit status and moved our gallery space to join the arts community at Mount Sequoyah Center. Fenix Arts is now located in the Millar Lodge just off Skyline Drive. We are looking forward to the collaborative opportunities and beautiful outdoor spaces that Mount Sequoyah offers. We anticipate a future of murals on the mountain and sculpture walks that will invite public engagement and bring this historic space to life with the arts.

Current Exhibit

Fresh From the Studio

Artists’ Show at Fenix Gallery

August 4 – October 1, 2022

Opening Reception: August 4th

5:00 – 8:00 pm

‘Fresh From the Studio’, the name of the artists’ show at Fenix Gallery, refers to a long tradition of historical studio practice. The emotive bonds and exuberant creativity from working in the studio has defined artist output since 1563 when in Florence Italy, the first Academy of Art was established by the duke Cosimo I de’ Medici. The studio hence became a place where iterative creativity builds upon itself and Fenix represented artists’ are building upon this tradition of working in the studio today.

Up Coming Exhibits & Shows

The Hand at Fenix Arts:

Juried exhibit of handmade prints and photographs

October 6 – November 12, 2022

Opening Reception: October 6th

5:00 – 8:00 pm

The Hand at Fenix Arts, is an international exhibition of handmade prints and photographs juried by Adam Finkelston, the co-editor and publisher of the Hand Magazine. The exhibit drew artist submissions from 28 states and five international countries. Never before in history have more prints and photographs been made per minute, yet each of these exhibited entries takes days to construct by hand. The Hand at Fenix Arts is a celebration of the creative image maker, and the exhibit ranges from a Daguerreotype, one of the earliest forms of photography, to a duotone print. Such range and diversity of printmaking methods has likely never been shown before in the state of Arkansas.
