Art Exhibition: "Beyond Labels" by Virmarie DePoyster @ South Arkansas Arts Center
2024-09-10 09:00 - 2024-10-16 17:00 | South Arkansas Arts Center
Beyond Labels | Más allá de las Etiquetas
Virmarie DePoyster is a bilingual, Puerto Rican artist interested in utilizing art to bring communities together. In this portrait exhibition, she explores how in today’s world — a melting pot — the labels we assign each other have the power to either divide or connect us. Rather than focusing on the boundaries these labels can create, DePoyster’s goal with these works is to inspire a sense of community as each subject’s intrinsic beauty is illustrated. Her hope is to inspire an appreciation in our community for what makes each of us unique so we can learn to look beyond labels and truly see one another.

Más allá de las Etiquetas
Virmarie DePoyster es una artista puertorriqueña bilingüe interesada en utilizar el arte para unir a las comunidades. En esta exhibición de cuadros, ella explora cómo en el mundo de hoy, un crisol, las etiquetas que nos asignamos tienen el poder de dividirnos o conectarnos. En lugar de centrarse en los límites que pueden crear estas etiquetas, el objetivo de DePoyster con estos trabajos es inspirar un sentido de comunidad, como se ilustra la belleza intrínseca de cada sujeto. Su esperanza es inspirar un aprecio en nuestra comunidad por lo que nos hace únicos para que podamos aprender a mirar más allá de las etiquetas y realmente vernos.

38 Special presented by Murphy USA LIVE @ MAD
2024-09-18 19:30 - 22:30 | Murphy Arts District, 101 E. Locust Street, El Dorado, AR, 71730, United States
38 Special presented by Murphy USA –
After more than four decades, 38 SPECIAL continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. At each and every show, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band’s performance.
Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse.
With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more – Timeless hits that remain a staple at radio, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord, and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen.
Guitarist/vocalist DON BARNES says it’s all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft or complacent over the years. We’re a team, and it’s always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.”
Completing the team is bassist BARRY DUNAWAY, drummer GARY MOFFATT and keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS. The most recent addition to the band is legendary virtuoso guitarist and vocalist JERRY RIGGS.
For 38 Special onstage, it is a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.
Since 1976, the band has released more than 15 albums. And from the start, they’ve toured relentlessly, bringing their signature brand of ‘muscle and melody’ to fans worldwide.
It is that steely determination that lives on in the hearts of these ‘Wild-Eyed Southern Boys.’
Barnes adds, “This music keeps our wheels on the road. We’re a band that’s tried to stay honest with what has driven us over the years. We started out with nothing but bold determination to make our own history and to endure. Looking back now, it has been our greatest pride to have persevered and attained that level of success and longevity. For us, it’s the ultimate validation.”
“The magic’s still there,” adds Barnes. “It’s an emotional high for us to keep ‘bringing it’ after all these years. When those lights go down and we all walk up those steps to the stage and hear that crowd roar, it’s a real rush to the head. It feels like we’re getting ready to strap ourselves in and it just takes off from there.”
