Blank Art Studio recently invested about $1.5 million in equipment and improvements to open a first-of-its-kind creative studio in Bentonville. The nearly 10,000-square-foot gallery, production facility, working studio and customer creative lab recently opened at 2714 S.E. Otis Corley Drive.
Blank is part of the Howse Brands family and is located next to the Howse Design Center.
“Blank is about rethinking how art lives in a community,” said Jay Howard, founder and CEO of Howse Brands. “Artists deserve more than wall space, and clients deserve more than a transaction. We built Blank as a creative engine — a place where ideas are developed, originals are honored and production is done with integrity. It’s a space that invites people into the process.”
Howard said the building has been a part of the Howse Brands operation since 2016 for wholesale and retail purposes and was used to produce art for Howse and other retailers. The Howse Furniture and Design Center moved from the Pinnacle Hills area of Rogers into a new space in October. Renovations for Blank Art Studio began in November.
Blank has partnered with 10 artists whose original works will be featured there. The studio plans to rotate artists, including established painters and photographers, and emerging creatives.
Blank also has a full-service frame shop and in-house production capabilities. The studio can reproduce artwork using 3D scanning technology similar to systems used for archival preservation and Swiss-manufactured textured printing equipment.
The studio also offers custom, on-demand printing on materials including canvas, wood, acrylic, metal, wallpaper and fabric.
The studio is open to artists and the public. Clients can bring their own photography, artwork or personal pieces and collaborate with the Blank team to enhance, enlarge, reproduce and custom frame them.
