For seven years, a certain boy wizard went to a school and conquered evil, yet this isn’t his story. It is the story of the Puffs, who just happened to be there. Their hilarious, epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be. (“Puffs” is not authorized, sanctioned, licensed or endorsed by J.K.

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.

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.
