The Delta National Small Prints Exhibition has been a thrilling component of the arts throughout the region for the last 11 years. Founded by renowned print maker Evan Lindquist, the event has become one of Arkansas State's most prestigious events. Print makers from across the U.S. and many foreign countries submit works, which are judged by a professional juror, who decides what works will be shown, as well as which works will stay in the university's permanent collection. There are many giving opportunities for the Delta National Small Prints Exhibition: benefactor-$1,000; patron-$500; sponsor-$250; donor-under $250. Benefactors and patrons receive Purchase Awards for their gifts, and the named print will stay in the ASU permanent collection.
