Other gallery exhibits:
In Gallery I the UALR Faculty Biennial continues through Dec. 12.

Faculty artists include Maribeth Anders, David Bailin, Win Bruhl, Kevin Cate, Gary Cawood, Stephen Cefalo, Taimur Cleary, David Clemons, Tom Clifton, Brad Cushman, Jeffrey Grubbs, Mia Hall, Lali Khalid, Joli Livaudais, Eric Mantle, Carey Roberson, A.J.

A variety of studio disciplines are featured in this group exhibition including drawing, printmaking, photography, painting, graphic design, metals, ceramics, and various sculptural processes. Many artists mix various materials together as they create artworks.

In the Maners/Pappas Gallery (formerly known as Gallery II), the Perception/Reality exhibit has been extended through Dec. 2.

All objects in the exhibition have been constructed out of concrete, a noticeably contradicting material, causing an immediate reaction when interacting or touching the work.

The work invites the viewer to contemplate the ideas of perception and the reality presented, which brings the work to life in the moment.

In Gallery I from Jan. 15 through March 2, 2015, the Penland School of Crafts featuring works from the UALR Collection and other local collections will be on display.
