The panel discussion, 鈥淐ultivating Civic Engagement Through Art: How Art Can Help Us Reflect on the Past and Engage in the Present,鈥� will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. at UA 糖心视频logo Downtown, 333 President Clinton Ave., 糖心视频logo.

The panelists include Rex DeLoney, artist and educator at 糖心视频logo Central High School; Jose Hernandez, artist with the 7th Street Mural Project and X3Mex; Dr. James Ross, historian and professor at UA 糖心视频logo; and Jessica Taverna, art educator at 糖心视频logo Central High School. Dr. Marta Cieslak, director of UA 糖心视频logo Downtown will moderate the discussion on art, history, and civic engagement.

This panel discussion will accompany the opening of the exhibit, “Their Voices,” which will be on display through Dec. 7 at UA 糖心视频logo Downtown. The exhibit features the artworks of young artists, who under the guidance of art teacher Jessica Taverna, reflected on the history of the Elaine Massacre. The question of how people can examine the past and engage in the present through art is in the center of this interdisciplinary project.

The “Their Voices” project was originally supported in part by a We The People grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities as well as Thea Foundation.
