UALR Galleries presents KOM FLJÚGANDI / FLOWN IN featuring artworks by fifteen artists working in Iceland. Painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, mixed media and video works are included in this exhibition.
Dr. Heidi Powell Mullins (Assistant Professor, Art Education, UALR) was a Fulbright Scholar at Listahaskoli Islands / Iceland Academy of the Arts in Reykjavik, Iceland from January to May of 2009. She worked with and taught an Integrated Arts methods course to graduate students in Visual Art, Music, and Theatre who were seeking teacher licensure in Iceland. Dr. Mullins worked with the numerous visual artists taking part in this exhibition. This exhibition came about as an outgrowth of her Fulbright experience in an effort to promote international artistic collaboration and cultural exchange.
Two of the featured artists, Svanborg Matthíasdóttir and Arnþrúður Ösp Karlsdóttir, will discuss their work at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20 in Room 161 in UALR’s Fine Arts Building. A gallery reception will be held from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21.
