The ARTSpace on Main Street in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, is currently the home to the UAPB 2023 Senior Art Exhibition through Thursday, February 9, 2023.  The community is invited to attend, and gallery admission is free.  The UAPB Seniors whose works are on exhibition are Austin Dunn and Zach Webb.  We encourage you to come support and celebrate art in the community.

We anticipate an exciting evening at the UAPB 2023 Senior Art Exhibition closing reception at the ARTSpace on Main on February 9, 2023, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The closing reception, in addition to the Arts & Science Center’s “Art Night on the Block,” will also include UAPB Alumnus Kevin Cole’s book signing, additional art viewing events, and hands-on activities until 7 pm.

During the Senior Art Exhibition, we spoke with UAPB Senior Zach Webb about the exhibit, and he explained that he is a versatile artist who just “likes creating.” Thoughtfully he shared that his key museum piece “shows the complexity of life, the vividness of colors, and the many smooth and rough textures.”

During the conversation, he shared a look into his background, his future, and his purpose.  Zack’s hometown is Memphis, TN. As a child, he loved to draw, so he took art classes in middle and high school but continued to “learn art on his own.” Some of his early works Elvis Presley were displayed at the Memphis International Airport. He also had art displayed as part of the Civil Rights Museum’s MLK 50 Anniversary Art Show.
