Barbara House supplied all images for the A.S.A. Artist Retreat. Thanks Barbara! And Thanks to Chateau Aux Arc for sponsoring the retreat and providing the materials!!
About me: Welcome to our new site! As an organization, we are hoping to create a more cohesive and inspirational environment for the students here at UALR. Meeting times are @ noon every Thursday in the Slide Library at the Fine Arts Building @UALR.
The Art Students Association is an active organization based on the University of Arkansas at Little Rock campus. Through various group projects and activities, the ASA hopes to enrich the life of the art student by allowing them to work closely with other student artists as well as working artists in the surrounding community.
Who I'd like to meet: Anybody we can get our paint/charcoal/ink covered hands on! You don't have to be an art student to join! If your a student at UALR then come check us out. Message Carrie or Ceola or call the Fine Arts Department at (501) 569-3182.
Check out our new web-page: Art-Students.com! It is still under construction, but this site will allow you to view upcoming events, activities, past events, and student galleries! Enjoy!
And check out our Faculty Advisor's webpage: StephenCefalo.com. His work is phenomenal.
4 bands Tommorow @ Circa 76 Records! 9pm Sunday may 10th
HELL-KITE (Tempe, Arizona) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFQpPL-jlAE http://www.myspace.com/hellkitemusic "The other Arizonian, Hell-Kite, a young woman named Ann Marie Philipp from Tempe with pleasantly "symmetrical bone structure, shared somber, minimalist songs, accompanied by her electric guitar and petite Marshall amp without a mic. It was like witnessing her play in her bedroom, and when her voice rose, the cry became tremulous and palpably intense, as if just hearing it was verging on invading her privacy."
Stephen Stienbrink of FRENCH QUARTER (Pheonix Arizona) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mgX6KvQ0yE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGoECcqJOrU It’s a relief not to be blinded by the sparkle of production, and to simply accept the drafty-room acoustics and dusty guitars. In the place of aural bling, there are spare moments of innovation, inadvertent field recordings, and a snare drum that sounds like a wet towel hitting the locker room floor. And when Steinbrink’s voice harmonizes with itself to create eerie intervals that make these songs something more than merely pretty"

You read right, we're doing the most influential, thought provoking, and ground breaking play in the English language!
From the surface, Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Beckett, is just sixty pages of gibberish and disorganization centered around two men waiting for someone to show up. But when the story is analyzed, and is looked at piece by piece, this two act play begins to take shape and illustrate many different truths of the everyday world. Under the fragmented information left by Beckett, the theme that one cant just sit around and wait, emerges to the surface. Another theme, which is free to be taken when this play is dissected, is the mockery made of religion. Through the disorganized rubbish left by Samuel Beckett, the themes that one can not just sit around and wait, and the idea that religion is a joke, emerge in Waiting for Godot.
Auditions will be Sun, July 15th and Mon, July 16th at 7:00 at The Pocket Theatre, 170 Ravine St. 623-8585 or 270-792-5052 or 501-701-0469

Its sardonically political in spirit with a touch of the absurd in the lyrics. Influences are: Men's Recovery Project, Melt Banana, 1.6 Band, The Minutemen, No Means No, the Monorchid, The Meta-Matics, and, from the corporate rock world, Devo, Queen, and just a little touch of AC/DC here and there. ********************************************** WUSTUNGEN (next generation of LR doom metal) (featuring members of the
