(LITTLE ROCK, AR) –The Arkansas Arts Center announces College Day on Saturday, October 9, 2010. On this day, college students are offered free admission with ID to the exhibition Bigger, Better, More: The Art of Viola Frey, on view now through November 28, 2010, in the Townsend Wolfe and Jeannette Edris Rockefeller Galleries.

Bigger, Better, More is the first major exhibition of ceramist Viola Frey’s works since her death in 2004. Frey is most renowned for her large-scale monumental figures. In this show, the large colossal ceramic sculptures greet viewers head on with arms outstretched or eyes looking directly at the visitor. Frey recounted her own life, as well as late- twentieth century culture, through her art. She is a forerunner in self-revelation by creating sculptures and vignettes based on her own personal relationships, recollections and the people she knew. The exhibition is co-organized by the Gardiner Museum, Toronto and the Racine Art Museum, Wisconsin.

Exhibition sponsors are JPMS Cox, PLLC and Metropolitan National Bank. Participating students are asked to bring their student ID to the Arts Center for free entry to the exhibition. Bigger, Better, More is a ticketed exhibition. Ticket prices are as follows:
