The museum’s Second Floor Gallery will present a new exhibit, Found–Fired–Formed: Sarah May Leflar, Donna Uptigrove and Amber Uptigrove, on display December 9, 2011, through February 5, 2012.
Found–Fired–Formed showcases a convergence of media by three emerging Arkansas artists. Sarah May Leflar’s compositions thoughtfully combine found objects with bold colors and textures. Donna Uptigrove transforms utilitarian ceramics by manipulating shape, color, and imagery to engage universal themes. Amber Uptigrove’s mixed media work in graphite and collage visualizes memory to convey a personal narrative. Together, these individual practices take on new meaning as an exploration of creativity.

Admission to the galleries and parking are free; tours of historic grounds are $2.50 for adults, $1 for children under 18, $1.50 for senior citizens.
