The ARTx3 Campus will host the opening reception for the exhibition “Blaque” by Jonathan Wright, from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas (ASC), 701 S. Main St. The event is free, and refreshments will be available.

“Blaque” explores how a single shade can carry grief, resilience, tradition, and transformation within the African diaspora. Blending technology with traditional techniques, the artist uses matte black on black paper to prompt slow, intentional analysislooking—revealing layered histories, personal memory, and cultural legacy. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on their own heritage while confronting how stories can fade unless we choose to see them fully.

Wright is an art instructor at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in visual arts. He completed his Master of Fine Arts in printmaking this year at Arizona State University. His love of working with his hands is what drives him to combine traditional printmaking techniques, such as woodcutting, with modern technology. His current body of work emphasizes the rich history of the African American Community, their experiences and their heritage.

Good morning,

I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to reach out on behalf of the Greater Central Arkansas Board of REALTORS® Safety Committee to share information about the upcoming Beverly Carter Memorial 5K & Fun Run taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Paradise Park in Jacksonville, Arkansas.

This event was created to honor the legacy of Beverly Carter while raising awareness for REALTOR® safety and helping fund safety initiatives and resources for real estate professionals throughout our community. We’re expecting participation from local REALTORS®, businesses, families, and community members across Central Arkansas.

We would love the opportunity to have your station help share the event with the community. I’ve attached the official press release and event flyer for your review. We would also be happy to coordinate an interview or provide additional event information if needed.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. We truly appreciate your support in helping us spread awareness for such an important cause.
