Hearts for Haiti

Thanks to those who braved the elements on Sunday to attend our Valentine's Day Event. We had a great time raising money to help those in need in Haiti.  This special auction will continue through Friday with specific items on display for bidding with proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders.  Persons making donation will receive a ceramic heart created by Jim Westbrook. Be generous and give to help our neighbors.

The Ninth Annual THEA Awards were held on February 7 at the THEA Foundation Center for the Arts. Twenty scholarships totaling $50,000 were awarded to Arkansas high school seniors from all corners of the state.

An overflow crowd attended the awards ceremony where guests enjoyed great desserts and punch, along with an amazing art exhibit and video excerpts from the performing arts auditions.

One hundred and ninety-five seniors and one hundred and seven juniors from fifty-five high schools across Arkansas entered this year's competition. Visual Arts Top Fifteen Winners 2010
