The Arts & Science Center will host a free, public opening reception for a new exhibition by artist Kim Kwee from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, May 11, 2023.

“A Simple Heart” is a series of paintings, fabric works and assemblages representing a series of investigations into family, specifically mothers and daughters, and the shifting ontological status of dolls, decorative objects, and ephemera like the vintage paper dolls the artist used. Kwee’s work combines textiles and drawing media. The Little Rock native has been teaching drawing and design at the University of Arkansas-Pulaski Technical College since 2010. She has a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.

This exhibition is sponsored by Simmons Bank and will remain on view in the William H. Kennedy Jr. Gallery through Saturday, July 8. Gallery admission is always free. The reception is sponsored by ASC volunteer group Art Krewe and MK Distributors.

The Arts & Science Center will host the exhibition “Arkansas Women to Watch 2023: New Worlds” from Thursday, May 19, to Aug. 12, 2023, at ASC’s home facility at, 701 S. Main St. in Pine Bluff.

“New Worlds” is the latest exhibit in the Women to Watch exhibition series, conceived by the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA). The Arkansas Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts (ACNMWA) organizes the statewide tour of the art by the Arkansas nominees.

The exhibition’s guest curator is Chaney Jewell, former curator of collections and exhibitions at ASC. She nominated four Arkansas artists whose work embodies the “new worlds” theme of “migration or stagnation of an individual, environmental changes, physical or emotional growth of an individual and imaginary worlds”: Heidi Carlsen-Rogers, Anaïs Dassé, Hannah McBroom and Aimée Papazian.

Relyance Bank is the sponsor of the ASC presentation of the exhibition.
