Description

Join us for a gallery reception on Friday, November 20, from 5 - 7 p.m., with brief artist talks beginning at 6 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Admission is free and open to the public. 'Somewhere, Inbetween,' an exhibition by Cody Norton (Batesville, AR) is featured in the Main Gallery, and 'Studies in Blue, Hope Too,' by Myra Eley (Little Rock, AR) is in the Community Gallery. Norton’s 'Somewhere, Inbetween,' combines found objects, cast plastic hands and fingers, and taxidermy into 3D sculptures juxtaposed with modified woven tapestries. His work seeks to “investigate the intersections of rural identity and queerness, exploring how these elements coexist, conflict, and shape a sense of self and place.” Eley’s series, 'Studies in Blue, Hope Too,' utilizes many versatile techniques such as cyanotype, collage, printmaking, and fiber arts to create powerful visuals designed to stay with the viewer. Eley says of her work, “It is my hope that each viewer would begin to see life as a positive experience in which they realize that their every word or action can make a positive difference.”
