Opening Reception

Mary Talbert, David Rios, Angela Teeter, and Lisa Crews

Curated by Zeek Taylor

The exhibition features the art of Angela Teeter of Rogers, AR; Lisa Crews of Paragould, AR; Mary Talbert of West Fork, AR; and David Rios of Avoca, AR. The work this quarter is amazing, and it was a pleasure to hang each piece. There were so many I wanted to purchase. Go see this show. It will be on view through mid-October at 402 SW A St, Bentonville, AR.

This quarter, I am featuring works by two of the artists from the Generational Journeys program: Mary Talbert and David Rios. Mary is one hundred and one years old, and is David’s mentor in the program. David is seventeen years old. They are the oldest and youngest artists whose work I’ve hung at the bank! There will be a newspaper article about the two exhibiting in the bank. The article will also include information about the Generational Journeys program. It will be in the “What’s Up” section of this Sunday’s NW Arkansas Democrat Gazette and was written by Becca Martin.

A “thank you” goes to Carla Nemec for developing the Generational Journeys program. I’m also a mentor in the program, and that’s where I met Mary and David.

A reception will be held to honor the four artists on Thursday, July 31st, from 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. The event is free and the public is invited to attend. Come meet the artists!
