BRADBURY ART MUSEUM

30 YEARS OF DELTA NATIONAL SMALL PRINTS EXHIBITION

January 29th - March 11th, 2026

Most American adults consider their thirtieth birthday to be the milestone indicating their transition from youth into full-fledged adulthood. If the Delta National Small Prints Exhibition (DNSPE) was a person, it would be celebrating this milestone right now. DNSPE was founded in 1996 by Professor Evan Lindquist, a master engraver and head of the printmaking area at Arkansas State University. Bradbury Art Museum did not yet exist, nor did its predecessor Bradbury Gallery. In that first year, DNSPE was exhibited in the Fine Arts Center Gallery.

Since then, so much has changed. Fowler Center opened in 2001, and Bradbury Gallery was dedicated on January 12 that year. The space was renamed Bradbury Art Museum in August 2015. Before the end of 2026, the A-State Department of Art + Design will move to the Windgate Art and Innovation Center, where new exhibition spaces will succeed the Fine Arts Center Gallery.

Below are the prints selected for inclusion in the 2026 Delta National Small Prints Exhibition. You can access a digital catalog of the exhibition by clicking here.
