SAAC: “Fun & Color: The Art of John Goodwin” in the Merkle Art Gallery

The South Arkansas Arts Center (SAAC) will present “Fun & Color: The Art of John Goodwin,” a vibrant exhibition featuring the work of Arkansas artist John Goodwin. The exhibit will be on display in SAAC’s Merkle Gallery from Monday, March 30 through Thursday, April 30. An artist reception honoring Goodwin will be held at SAAC on Monday, April 6 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Born in El Dorado, Goodwin earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Louisiana Tech University and now lives in Little Rock. Much of his career was spent working in sales for the photography, pre-press, and printing industries, where he specialized in fine art reproductions. Today, he works as a full-time artist creating what he affectionately calls “fun art” – bold, colorful works often centered on cultural and musical themes.
