The ARTx3 Campus will host the opening reception for the exhibition “Blaque” by Jonathan Wright, from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas (ASC), 701 S. Main St. The event is free, and refreshments will be available.

“Blaque” explores how a single shade can carry grief, resilience, tradition, and transformation within the African diaspora. Blending technology with traditional techniques, the artist uses matte black on black paper to prompt slow, intentional analysislooking—revealing layered histories, personal memory, and cultural legacy. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on their own heritage while confronting how stories can fade unless we choose to see them fully.

Wright is an art instructor at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in visual arts. He completed his Master of Fine Arts in printmaking this year at Arizona State University. His love of working with his hands is what drives him to combine traditional printmaking techniques, such as woodcutting, with modern technology. His current body of work emphasizes the rich history of the African American Community, their experiences and their heritage.

Art Designs, An Interior Creative Experience, April 28, 2026

Design is more than throw pillows and paint color. It reflects how we live, travel, collect, and ultimately create spaces that feel like home. It is an art. In this interactive seminar, we’ll explore the personalities and stories behind different interior styles and how designers bring them to life. During the seminar, you’ll take a short quiz to discover your style and see how our designers turn inspiration into cohesive, beautiful spaces.

Explosions. One-liners. And a whole lot of Chuck Norris.

Celebrate the ultimate American action hero with Missing in Action (1984, R) on Tuesday, April 28 at 7 p.m. at Ron Robinson Theater. Starring Chuck Norris at the height of his larger-than-life powers, this explosive ’80s classic follows Colonel James Braddock, a Vietnam War POW who refuses to leave the past behind—launching a one-man mission back into enemy territory to rescue the soldiers still left behind.

Packed with high-octane action, daring rescues, and the kind of unstoppable grit only Chuck Norris can deliver, Missing in Action is pure adrenaline-fueled nostalgia. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just ready to experience peak ’80s action on the big screen, this is your chance to witness a true icon in action—no backup required.

Because when Chuck Norris goes to war…he doesn’t come back alone.
