December ANA Membership Show and the 6×6 Silent Auction
The Artists of Northwest Arkansas (ANA) are holding their fifth annual 6x6 Silent Auction on December 11, 2025, just in time for Christmas gift shopping. The 6” x 6” show is a silent auction that has become an ANA tradition to raise money for education programs and events for NWA artists. We’ve handed out over 240 FREE 6” x 6” stretched canvases to anyone that wants to participate. Artists take them home, paint whatever they choose on them, and then bring them back for the auction. As of Monday, Dec 1 there are 190+ 6” x 6” original artworks ready for the auction. Participating artists do not have to be ANA members. The event is free and open to the public.
The 6x6 Silent Auction is held in conjunction with the ANA December Membership Show. Artworks from 50 ANA artists are hanging throughout the ANA Gallery and Studio. The opening reception for the December Membership Show and the 6x6 Silent Auction are held on evening of December 11th as well as Art on the Bricks in downtown Rogers. Last year there were over 180 pieces of art in the membership show and over 175 – 6 x 6 canvases in the silent auction. Both events were a great success even though we lost our home in downtown Rogers because of the tornado. We are in our new location and very excited about what this year will bring.
