The weather’s heating up and so is this month’s 2FAN.
For the uninitiated, 2FAN, or 2nd Friday Art Night, is a monthly event that takes place in downtown Little Rock where various art galleries and shops stay open late and host special events.
Here’s a peek at all the fun happenings during this month’s stacked lineup:
UA Little Rock Downtown: The university will showcase Joe Jones’ mural “The Struggle in the South.”
Central Arkansas Library System: CALS will spotlight its new exhibit titled “Ledger Art” from the J.W. Wiggins Contemporary Native American Art Collection.
