In February 2024, the Little Rock Zoo celebrated a remarkable event in orangutan conservation with the arrival of a critically endangered orangutan, marking the second such birth at the Zoo. Berani, who previously gave birth to big sister Kasih in 2019, welcomed a baby boy into the world in the early morning hours of February 23, 2024. Both mother and baby are in good health, and the Zoo staff are diligently monitoring the newborn's health.What do you possibly buy an orangutan mom for her newborn?

TWO meaty cooking classes to chose from (or don't chose at all - take both!):

Under his expert guidance, you'll make two kinds of fresh sausage: breakfast sausage and Italian sausage, with onions and peppers served on a toasted hoagie bun, plus you'll be able to carry these skills into more advanced forms and processes. Through meat selection, spice choices, tools, preparation, and cooking, you will be exposed to the whole process of making a quality sausage at home.Interested?

This is a fundamentals class, so what you learn here can be easily made at home with little or no special equipment needed. Your reward will be BLTs three ways, served with classic sides. Participants will leave with even more leftover bacon to cure on their own at home!Interested?

ASC will host an opening reception for the photography exhibition “Field Notes” by Gary Cawood, 5-7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 19. This exhibition is in the Loft Gallery at The ARTSpace on Main, 623 S. Main St.
Cawood is drawn to sites where the natural contours of the landscape have been disturbed or disrupted, such as abandoned quarries or excavations for new construction projects. As the landscape goes through a transformation via human persuasion, nature inevitably asserts its own transformations and converts the shiny and new to the tarnished and worn. His work in this series of 33 images emphasizes scale as an element of visual composition, exploring various ways the measuring scale can be integrated into the scene, sometimes titling the effect to be more ambiguous than factual.
The exhibition will be on view through Wednesday, April 24. It is sponsored by Relyance Bank.
Artwork: “Former Address”
The ARTx3 Campus will host an opening reception for “Quotidian Moments: Different Lenses” an exhibition by Rhaelene Lowther and Anna Zusman, from 5-7 p.m. Friday, March 22. The exhibition will be in the Ben J. Altheimer Gallery at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, 701 S. Main St.
This collaborative exhibition was born from the scenic walks the two Magnolia-based artists took together during the pandemic. They discovered that they responded most to transformation and directed to subject matter related to seasons, lighting, weather, and lifecycles. These became the catalysts for concepts that emerged into a series of paintings. These paintings provide a glimpse into how observation and creativity, the willingness to explore them, can lead to important discoveries about oneself and those surrounding them.
The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, June 29. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. It is sponsored by Relyance Bank.
For more information, contact Kevin Haynie, curator of collections and exhibitions, at khanyie@artx3.org or call 870-536-3375. Visit artx3.org/exhibitions for a list of current and upcoming exhibitions.
