Whether you want to test out your cornhole skills, or just watch the best of the best throw some bags, come check out the ACL's Little Rock Open from November 1-3. Tournaments range from Amateur to Pro.

The ARTx3 Campus invites the public to a free opening reception for the exhibition “Glimmer” by Heidi Carlsen-Rogers from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 22, at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, 701 S. Main St. in Pine Bluff. This exhibition is sponsored by the Kline Family Foundation.

Carlsen-Rodgers’s exhibition provides a backdrop to relax the mind through a set of large-scale floral tapestries using psychologically uplifting and calming colors and subject matter. This tranquil exhibition uses various sky hues to simulate a soothing passage of time in the garden. Visitors are invited to recall positive memories or "glimmers" and immerse themselves to relieve stress and anxiety and to promote their general well-being.

This exhibition will remain on view through Friday, Jan. 10, 2025. Gallery viewing is free. For more information, contact Kevin Haynie at khaynie@artx3.org or call 870-536-3375.

The ARTx3 Campus invites the public to view “Hysteria” by Brandi Parker at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, 701 S. Main St. in Pine Bluff. The exhibition is sponsored by Simmons Bank.

Parker’s surrealist style in this multi-media exhibition provides a vehicle to abstract the female experience through linework and color. Visceral and thought-provoking themes of motherhood and the fleeting bonds captured in memory and time offer a beautiful, yet haunting footnote.

This exhibition will be on view through Friday, Dec. 6. Gallery viewing is free. For more information, contact Kevin Haynie at khaynie@artx3.org or call 870-536-3375.

Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person.
