Art Ventures at Faulkner Center Brings New Sculpture Exhibit to Campus
Polyp by Shelby Fleming
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Art Ventures at Faulkner Center will present The Shape of Our World exhibition starting Friday, Aug. 21, at the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center.
Our World is centered by the diversity of organisms that populate it; those that fit together by attributes that complement like yin and yang, hard and soft, short and tall, red and green. The Shape of Our World presents a diverse and complementary group of artists who create connections that ultimately center and balance it.
Artists featured in the exhibit include Maryam Amirvaghefi, Eric Andre, Cheri Bohn, Beth Burgess, Shelby Fleming, Tom Flynn, and Martin Morales.
The exhibit is free and open to the public from Aug. 21 to Oct. 23. The exhibit will be open from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and from 12 to 5 p.m. Saturday. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, advanced reservations are required. To reserve your tickets, please visit UarkArtsTickets.com.
