Get a dose of culture while supporting a Little Rock local. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Art Gallery will host an exhibit featuring the photography of Ted Grimmett from July 5-28.
Grimmett, printing services supervisor at UALR’s Printing Services, photographs objects and sites that exhibit transparent, translucent and reflective surface properties. These images provoke questions about the tension between surfaces, how they interact to reveal and withhold detail and how they appear to the eye.
The exhibit, “Surface Tension,” will be on display in Gallery II in the UALR Fine Arts Building. The work represents Grimmett’s thesis exhibition for his Master of Arts degree from UALR. A reception for Grimmett will be held from 4-6 p.m. Friday, July 15.
If ancient art is more up your alley, the gallery is also holding an exhibit featuring the artwork and artifacts of the nomadic Bedouin people of Saudi Arabia. The exhibit, “Traditional Arts of the Bedouin,” is on display until Aug. 5.
Summer hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday or by appointment.
