Class meets the artist

Hope High School art students of Kendrick Adams toured the gallery showing of fellow HHS student Alex Hutson at the Southwest Arkansas Arts Council Art Depot. Hutson, at left, the son of Dolly and Steve Hutson, and grandson of Pat and Forrest Hutson of Hope, will show his works in metal sculpture, pop art, and sacred themes through Feb. 8.  The showing is free and open to the public. Hutson is currently working on a nature-themed piece for an Arkansas Parks and Wildlife competition. – Ken McLemore/Hope Public Schools
