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.
