Tree Planting to Remember Art Student
Members of the Little Rock Rugby Club will plant a tree Saturday in memory of their teammate, UALR graduate student Keri Young. The Zambian native died in a automobile accident on Saturday, Jan. 29.
The ceremony will be at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 11, at the Little Rock Rugby Club, 14301 Dineen Road in Little Rock.
Young was studying for her masters in art when she died. Her parents donated one of her paintings – “Short Stories: Tight Rope, Oil and Mixed Media, 2010” – to the UALR Permanent Collection in her memory. The painting is in the current exhibition of “Work from the UALR Permanent Collection” in the Fine Arts Building.
