John Sykes, Jr. Photography Exhibition

THEA CENTER: John Sykes, Jr. Photography Exhibition: The Thea Center will host a photography exhibition by Little Rock photojournalist John Sykes, Jr., on display until Jan. 25. Sykes’s nature-inspired collection of photographs range from scenic landscapes to digital collages rife with relevant content and context. Sykes, originally from Heber Springs, drew from the Ozark Mountains as a photography muse in the artist’s adolescence. After studying journalism at ASU in Jonesboro and then UALR, Sykes joined the photography staff of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and, after several years, is now the newspaper’s chief photographer.
