An exhibition of new paintings by Kristin Musgnug, UA Associate Professor of Art, will open on February 10, 2010 in the Fine Arts Center Gallery. “Un-Natural Histories” features a series of canvases produced after a year of research documenting invasive plants in their “un-natural” habitats. Musgnug’s research included visits to Shenandoah National Park, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, The Blue Ridge Parkway and The Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia; Caddo Lake, Galveston Bay and the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas; as well as the Arkansas Ozarks. Her creative research was sponsored by the University of Arkansas, The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and The Hambidge Center for Arts and Sciences. The exhibition will continue through March 11.

A Reception with a Gallery Talk by Kristin Musgnug will take place on Thursday, February 11 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm in the Fine Arts Center Gallery.
