The South Arkansas Arts Center is hosting a reception on Saturday, January 6 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. welcoming Little Rock sculptor Michael Warrick and his exhibition "Memento-Mori" to the Merkle Gallery January 4, 2024 – January 30, 2024. Warrick uses aluminum, hydrocal, and porcelain as his medium in his exhibition that displays a narrative as well as abstracted portraits exploring themes of transformation, angst, meditation, mentorship, identity, death, and memory as the key to understanding who we are and aspire to be. Each portrait is a compilation of images that builds a unique execution through its subtle assemblage of narrative images, natural textures and found objects.
With Thanksgiving around the corner, the air feels wonderful and there is plenty to do this weekend including a lantern festival, a cheese dip and beer festival and a concert featuring heavy metal legends.
