Pyper Jacobson, a student at Woodlawn Elementary, has been selected to feature her artwork in the 65th Young Arkansas Artists Competition and Exhibition. Her piece, titled "Black Bear in Winter," emerged from a school-wide thematic study of bears and was the only submission from her school chosen for the prestigious statewide showcase at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
This selection highlights the importance of arts education in regional curricula and provides a platform for emerging young talent within the state's premier cultural institutions. The exhibition and its accompanying awards ceremony on May 23, 2026, serve to foster community engagement and recognize the creative achievements of K-12 students in Arkansas.
