Throughout modern times, women’s participation and impact on life on all levels have been marginalized. Values generally exhibited in women–compassion, kindness, thinking critically, not wanting to kill and colonize–are seen as ineffective in human progress, and from the heart.

Throughout modern times, women’s participation and impact on life on all levels have been marginalized. Values generally exhibited in women–compassion, kindness, thinking critically, not wanting to kill and colonize–are seen as ineffective in human progress, and from the heart. This exhibition, From the Heart - The Power of It! highlights that women maintain voices that empower the values they hold dear, that the work to pursue goals without bias or barriers is ongoing. From the Heart - The Power of It! honors women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements, despite structural opposition. It is a celebration of how women continue to advocate for themselves and the world around them.

Water media artist Cheryl Kellar sees the world around her through the magical lens of fashion. “Art in Fashion” is an exploration of fashion in the daily lives of New Yorkers and Northwest Arkansans alike. Kellar was curious as to whether there would be a noticeable difference in this personal expression between New York, the recognized fashion capital of the United States, and that in Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas. Clearly, art is always in fashion. Geographic influences exist, but it is obvious fashionistas are everywhere!

Artists translate and reflect culture and do so in individual ways that describe whether it is in stasis or change. How do we align as humans responding to natural and man-made impacts upon culture? This exhibition offers you the opportunity to find your reflection in artists as they translate and respond to life in our times.
