The Arkansas Arts Center presents the exhibition Factories: Warhol, Sex and Disasters / Photographs by Tim Hursley, on view November 28, 2008 – February 1, 2009, in the Alice Pratt Brown Atrium.
Tim Hursley, an internationally known architectural photographer, documents Andy Warhol’s factory, brothels in Nevada, polygamist colonies and disaster in post-Katrina New Orleans. During his initial foray into Warhol’s world, Hursley became interested in how architectural and interior spaces are metaphors for those who inhabit them. This exhibition tells the story of each “factory,” beyond the structural bones of the rooms and buildings.

 Empty Bowls is where potters and other artists make bowls and then hold a simple soup dinner to raise money for feeding the hungry. Each person who makes a donation of at least $25 receives a gourmet yet simple soup dinner to live music, and gets to pick out a bowl to take home as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. This year all of the proceeds go to benefit the NWA Food Bank (formerly the Ozark Food Bank).
www.flatrockclay.com/emptybowls.html For a minimum donation of $25 per person, you can enjoy a simple soup dinner and take home a handmade bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in our area.
