smART Show Benefits
Our House
By Manon Jacob, Development VISTA
UALR’s second annual smART Show,
co-sponsored by the Donaghey Scholars Program Student Committee and
the Art Student Association, was a
huge success! The art show doubled
last year’s proceeds.
The gallery opened on April 15th at
the Donaghey Student Center and
featured work from twenty-five local
artists who donated original paintings, drawings, photographs, pottery,
and jewelry. As the Ted Ludwig Trio
filled the hall with soft jazz, art
12
enthusiasts explored the gallery and
enjoyed a bite to eat.
In addition to the artwork sold, a
beautiful piece by Mia Hall, an
Applied Design professor at UALR,
was raffled. The mirror, encased in
an original carved wood frame, was
valued around $1,000.
We are grateful for the Art Student
Association’s continued support, and
we look forward to another excellent
art show next year.
