Please join Low Key Arts in a unique shopping experience. In a town rich with artists, finding a special holiday gift for the important people in your life should be fun, not a chore. A collection of local artists will set up shop for one day only showcasing a variety of handmade items from jewelry, dolls, hats, housewares, paintings, photographs, to whimisical little creations like no other.

Shawn Newton, local woodcut/lino cut artist will present a Collograph Making Workshop from 3 to 5 pm the same day. This affordable workshop is for ages 6 to 600. For $5 you can learn a fun and relatively simple process of printmaking and take home your creations to give as cards or small gifts. Come for the workshop and browse the artists tables. You never know what will spark your creative fire.

If you are interested in showing your work or preregistering for the workshop, please call Shea at 501-282-9057 for availability.

The Valley of the Vapors Independent Music Festival (The VOV) has begun its fundraising efforts for the upcoming festival in March 2010. We are looking for 7 bands to perform at Low Key Arts on Friday, November 27th (day after T-DAY). 

We held this event last year and it was amazing... Seven bands set up in a giant circle on the floor (not the stage) with the audience standing in the middle. As soon as one band stops the next band begins. No stops. 20 minute sets. That's 140 minutes of non-stop live music, on the floor and in your face. Super fun!!!

If you would like to perform at this event, and in turn show your support for America's most humble rock festival, The VOV please contact bill@​valleyofthevapo​rs.​com

Four to five students will be selected to rehearse under the mentorship of Andrew Anderson during the month of September and then perform as part of the Hot Springs Gallery Walk on October 2nd.  The After School Rock Band Experience is seeking guitar, bass, piano, banjo, and horn players, as well as, drummers to form a band with Andrew Anderson.  There is no cost to be a part of the program. All we need are high school students who are determined, responsible and fun!

The songs that Andrew has written are akin to Social Distortion, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams and Lucero. Andrew’s songs are  a little bit country and whole lotta rock and roll! http://www.myspace.com/aandersonmusic
