Hosted by: Location: Cost: The Arts Center of North Arkansas, Marty Williams President Town Center – Plaza Level No Charge Jane Hankins Witty, whimsical, wonderful. These words and more describe the creative world of Little Rock, Arkansas artist Jane F. Hankins. Born in Jonesboro, Jane has enjoyed a strong presence in the community of Arkansas artists for over two decades. A visual artist, specializing in sculpture in 7 porcelain and stoneware as well as drawing and painting, she is a designer for nationally-marketed sculpture reproductions. An Arkansas native, Jane studied at the Memphis Art Academy, Arkansas State University, and the Arkansas Arts Center. She is a serious artist, who doesn't take herself too seriously. She has had numerous exhibitions and annual shows and was one of 10 artists chosen to exhibit in the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. She has shown at the Arkansas Arts Center in the Delta Show, Toys by Artists and Prints, Drawings and Crafts. She has also served on the Fine Arts Club Board. Her work shows us that art does not have to be serious to be important. Jane says, "I like art that is approachable, and I believe that there is room for all kinds of art. A feminine theme is often present in my work - when I use that term - feminine, I'm referring to the divine aspects of the word, not just bein' pretty and actin' nice! Sometimes, I build entire stories around the characters I make and I get to know them better! I'm having great fun with the Little Old Ladies and Gents, as well as the Mavens of Madge's Mobile Home Park. Remember, I'm laughing near them, not at them." 8 Saturday, June 13, 2015 Registration & Information Booth Open Celebration Central 7:00am – 8:00pm The Registration and Information Booth will be open during the course of Celebration Activities where you can pick up your Diamond in the Ozarks™ Treasure Hunt Map and Treasure Map Entry Form.

Sharing a deep love of country-folk music, a genuine admiration for one another’s unique sound, and a constant willingness to laugh at themselves, the three strangers from Jonesboro, Arkansas, Simi Valley, California, and Chicago, Illinois, quickly became friends. Katy Bishop put it best. “It was a puzzle piece, and we were all surprised at the friendship we made and how well we all fit together. It’s hard to find people that have the qualities you need to complement each other.” In just a few short hours, the three singersongwriters wrote a country song that shocked music industry professionals. “Loving You Still” sounded as though it was written by artists who had been working together for years. Little did they know, "Loving You Still" would grow to be a very important song for them. In January 2014, Maybe April was invited to play it at the GRAMMY event "A Song is Born" at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles, CA alongside incredible artists and songwriters like Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson, Allen Shamblin, Gavin DeGraw, J.D.
