SUMMARY:Art Start
DESCRIPTION:Nurture your early learner’s creativity through art\, music\, movement\, and play! Art Start invites toddlers and preschoolers to explore in a welcoming environment that encourages curiosity\, imagination\, and growth. Each session features a story\, song\, and art-making activity\, plus a special letter or instrument of the day to spark hands-on discovery for families and caregivers to enjoy together. \nDrop by on this day to experience the story Many Shapes of Clay: A Story of Healing by Kenesha Sneed\, a thoughtful story about creativity and healing\, then create an air-dry clay bowl inspired by the natural forms and textures in the exhibition Material Nature: Gifts from the John and Robyn Horn Collection. \n\nMaterial Nature: Gifts from the John and Robyn Horn Collection is supported in part by the Alan DuBois Fund for Contemporary Craft and Cindy and Greg Feltus. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts and is part of Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026\, presented by Craft in America. \n \nImage courtesy of Jason Masters.

SUMMARY:Concert Series: John Gallagher Jr.
DESCRIPTION:A Brooklyn based artist\, actor\, and screenwriter\, John Gallagher Jr. broke out onto the scene with his originating role as Moritz Stiefel in Duncan Sheik’s Broadway mega-hit Spring Awakening\, which earned him a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He has since starred in Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning rock opera American Idiot\, Rabbit Hole\, and The Avett Brothers’ critically acclaimed musical Swept Away\, as well as appeared on the silver screen in Aaron Sorkin’s HBO series The Newsroom\, 10 Cloverfield Lane\, Westworld\, Short Term 12\, and Hush among many others. \nWith three records under his belt – Six Day Hurricane (2016)\, 8th and Jane (2021)\, Goodbye or Something (2024) – Gallagher’s songwriting is known for having an emphasis on the confessional\, cathartic\, and emotional\, prompting Billboard to rave: “Be it a ballad strum or a hard rock shred\, both come naturally to Gallagher.” His music has been described as “emo folk rock” – a tragicomic blend of rootsy bravado and vulnerable heart-on-sleeve reflection. \nOn Friday\, October 2\, Season Ticket Holders enjoy free tickets to a screening of 10 Cloverfield Lane followed by a Q+A with Gallagher. \n\nThe 2026-2027 Concert Series is supported in part by Mary Ann Coleman\, Mimi San Pedro\, Olivia Farrell\, and Susan Conley; Metal Recycling Corporation; the Partnership for Community Enrichment with Gael Downs Hees and Randy Hees; and an anonymous donor. \nPhoto by Regina Strayhorn.
