UAFS to host Sept. 11 memorial art exhibit

The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith will host a memorial exhibit from Sept. 8-11 in the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center commemorating the Sept. 11 attacks.

The exhibit will contain prints of several pieces of artwork on display at the newly constructed World Trade Center and four self-standing pieces. The Student Veterans Organization has been heavily involved with this exhibit as well as the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), who will perform a flag ceremony to open the exhibit.

Stacey Jones, associate vice chancellor for campus and community events, said the exhibit remembers a day that shouldn’t be forgotten.

“UAFS is very blessed to have such meaningful artwork,” Jones said. “We shouldn’t forget this day. It is a great opportunity that we have this art and the opportunity to educate others.”

The exhibit will be located near the fireplace in the Campus Center, and hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays. For more information about the exhibit, contact the Campus and Community Events Office at 788-7300.
