The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Art Gallery will open the new year with three new exhibits featuring Arkansas female artists to watch and the works of faculty members of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Department of Art and Design.聽 The Arkansas Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts presents their 5th exhibition of 鈥淎rkansas Women to Watch: Paper Routes.鈥 The traveling exhibit will be at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock from Jan. 29 to March 12 in the Brad Cushman Gallery on Level Two in the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Windgate Center of Art and Design. Joli Livaudais, associate professor of photography at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock, represented Arkansas in this highly regarded biennial 鈥淲omen to Watch鈥 exhibit in Washington, D.C. in 2020. The exhibit on campus features Livaudais along with fellow Arkansas women artists, including Kim Brewer, Linda Nguyen Lopez, and Suzannah Schreckhise. Allison Glenn of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art serves as the exhibit鈥檚 guest curator. The exhibit will feature Livaudais鈥 installation, 鈥淎ll That I Love,鈥 which consists of 1,500 origami paper beetles of varying sizes made of aluminum, pigment ink, resin, and mulberry paper that will be installed floor to ceiling by the artist. 鈥淚 am a professor of photography, so each of those beetles is folded from a photograph,鈥 Livaudais said. 鈥淭he idea is that each image captures a special moment of beauty, something that you care about deeply. That鈥檚 why the installation is called 鈥楢ll That I Love.鈥 Some of the images are recruited from other artists. When people send me images, it鈥檚 of things they love, like their kids.鈥 As a compliment to the traveling 鈥淎rkansas Women to Watch鈥 exhibit, 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock will also host an exhibit of 鈥淎rkansas Women from the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Permanent Collection.鈥 The exhibit will be open from Jan. 29 to March 12 in the Brad Cushman Gallery Annex in the Windgate Center.
