PERFORMING & VISUAL ARTS

The Stephens Gallery
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things,
but their inward significance. Aristotle

Housed in the University's Walton Fine Arts Center, the Stephens Gallery provides the Ozarks community and its guests a magnificent showplace for their creations. The 1500 square feet of the gallery provide ample wall and floor space in which to exhibit works in a variety of artistic mediums and styles, while the arched windows on the east floods the display area with a soft, pleasing light.

Two permanent collections donated to the University are on display in the gallery, the Pfeffer Collection and the Arch H. Gould Collection.

For gallery hours or other inquiries, email the Ozarks Humanities and Fine Arts Division or telephone them at (479) 979-1439.

The Walton Arts and Ideas Series 2008-2009
"New Horizons"


"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust

This year, the University of the Ozarks' Walton Arts and Ideas Series invites you to join us as we look at art forms and topics of discussion with a fresh perspective and a different point of view. From a string quartet with a non-traditional sound to a visiting fellow who has dedicated himself to championing the cause of persecuted thinkers and scholars around the world, this season is truly dedicated to the new, the unusual, and the exciting. Whether we're looking at a new artist or investigating an old question from a new angle, we invite you to come along with us on this voyage of discovery.
