Pine Bluff, Arkansas – The ARTx3 Campus is inviting the community to gather for an uplifting evening dedicated to honoring the volunteers whose time, talent, and quiet devotion keep the local arts scene alive and thriving. The annual Volunteer Night will bring together artists, supporters, and residents for a celebration filled with appreciation, recognition, and heartfelt applause.
A Night Dedicated to Gratitude and Recognition
The public is invited to attend the celebration from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21, at The ARTSpace on Main, located at 623 S.

Several honors will be presented during the celebration. These include The Margaret Spearman Memorial Awards, which recognize meaningful service and commitment, and The Catherine M.
