UALR Friends of the Arts will host the fundraising event 6×6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, in the Applied Design Studio in the University Plaza, Suite 300.

For the third year, funds from 6×6 will help support the university’s fine arts programs including the visual arts, theatre arts & dance, and music.

Guests will enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres in the unique atmosphere of UALR’s Applied Design Studio, where they can look at works in progress and talk with student artists and faculty.

“Most importantly, the event showcases pieces created by UALR students, faculty, and alumni in several mediums. These funds benefit the arts and support the artists who need assistance to attain the success they deserve,” said Vicki Kovaleski, president of Friends of the Arts.

A silent auction will feature works by UALR faculty, students and other artists connected to UALR.

Tickets for the event are $35 for the general public, $30 for employees and $15 for students.

Tickets may be purchased by calling 501.569.8976.
