Feelin’ Groovy

July 7, 2010
Are you a child of the sixties? Do you wish you were? Some of us may have missed that decade, but we still have an affinity for the free-spirited way of life that captured the nation.
Now’s your chance to relive – or just admire – some of the art that made up that era. UALR is exhibiting the Groovy Summer Show 2010 in one of its Fine Arts Building galleries. Did you know that UALR has a permanent art collection that includes over 120 pieces of psychedelic posters from the 1960s? You know the ones – with the crazy imagery and bold colors that every teenager plastered all over their walls (and many still do today).
 You’ll see posters advertising concerts for The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, The Velvet Underground, and many more. Who knows … you might have even been to one of these concerts or have picked up your own version of one of these groovy posters yourself.
There are some other great artists on display in this fun and funky exhibit as well – including Francoise Gilot (Picasso’s lover for 9 years) and Elsie Freund. So don’t miss out on seeing (and maybe even experiencing) some great work from a bygone era. Can you dig it?
