UA Little Rock ArtWORKs Lecture Series to Host Aleah Chapin 

UA Little Rock will host painter Aleah Chapin for a lecture as part of the artWORKS series, made possible through the Windgate Foundation.

The lecture will take place on Friday, Feb. 23, at 6 p.m. in room 101 of the Windgate Center for Art and Design.

Chapin’s art investigates the way the human body is typically expressed in contemporary Western art and seeks to expand beyond that. Her work explores what it means to exist in a body, and includes topics such as aging, gender, and beauty.

Chapin holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the New York Academy of Art and has received many accolades for her work as a painter, including winning the Promising Young Painters Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery. Her art is featured in several publications, such as New American Paintings, ArtMaze Magazine, and 50 Contemporary Women Artists.
