I had to visit the Argenta district of downtown North Little Rock today for a meeting, so took the occasion to stop by for a visit to the THEA Foundation, catty-corner from Argenta Drug on Main Street.
My niece Sarah Mattingly recently started working there with founder David Leopoulos, who started the arts non-profit in honor of his daughter, who's love of the arts lives on after her death at age 17.

This afternoon, Sarah was helping notify the winners of college scholarships in the visual arts. I got to see some of the paintings, drawings and photographs by Arkansas high school kids, and it was a remarkable collection of work.
The THEA Foundation also awards scholarships in film and the performing arts, organizes the exhibition of big-name art in the public schools (like the Peter Max painting above) through the Art Across Arkanas program and helps provide arts supplies for teachers who would otherwise be buying stuff out of pocket.
