Janet Donnangelo has been working in pottery since she was fifteen years old. Today, she is steeped in experience, and her distinctive organic style is a fusion of the tropical environment of her hometown, Miami, Florida, and the woodsy, natural environment of her new home, Russellville, Arkansas. All of her ceramic vessels, including pots, vases, platters, and more, feature colors and objects found in nature. For Donnangelo, function is just as significant as form. According to her, “Clay is a versatile medium that holds endless possibilities.”

Bill Ward and "Beyond the River...Stories of Life Near the Arkansas
Bill Ward, author of "Beyond the River …Stories of Life Near the Arkansas" will speak at the Faulkner County Library on February 16th at 7 pm.
The Arkansas River enters the state near Fort Smith and leaves it near Arkansas City as it joins the Mississippi on its journey to the Gulf of Mexico. It brings life-giving water, transportation, recreation, and a kind of focal point for all the communities along its length. A large diversity of people and ideas are marked by life near this third-largest river in the United States.
Now, Bill Ward has brought together photographs and stories of many of the people and places near this stream—some from long ago, some from not so long ago—in his new book, "Beyond the River . . . Stories of Life Near the Arkansas."
Ward published his first book, "Conway As it was . . . As it is," a photographic history of the city, in 2008.
This new book brings to light a number of interesting people who have helped create the fabric of life in the Natural State, many of them in…

The Boomers— J. D. Hatfield, Joe Lombardi, Mike Schaefer, Conrad Shumaker, and Sara Shumaker—originally came together fourteen years ago out of a shared love of performing traditional folk music and the songs of writers such as Bob Dylan, Ian Tyson, Tom Paxton, Gordon Lightfoot, Jesse Winchester, and Greg Brown. Today they play a large catalogue of original material as well, dealing with lost and found love, the links between mortality and spirituality, and the frequent strangeness of everyday life. Their instrumental accompaniment consists of six- and twelve-string guitars, banjos, mandolins, upright bass, harmonicas, and pennywhistles. Playing frequently at acoustic venues in the central Arkansas area, they've drawn praise for their "complex and impressive" picking (Arkansas Democrat Gazette) and their "high-energy delivery" (C.A.F.E.

The seed swaps have been enormously successful, with gardeners mingling and exchanging seeds, stories and ideas. Heirloom seeds have passed from hand to hand and brightened gardens across the region.

Janet Donnangelo Pottery at Thea
Janet Donnangelo has been working in pottery since she was fifteen years old. Today, she is steeped in experience, and her distinctive organic style is a fusion of the tropical environment of her hometown, Miami, Florida, and the woodsy, natural environment of her new home, Russellville, Arkansas. All of her ceramic vessels, including pots, vases, platters, and more, feature colors and objects found in nature. For Donnangelo, function is just as significant as form. According to her, “Clay is a versatile medium that holds endless possibilities.”
The Thea Foundation Center for the Arts is located at 401 Main Street, Suite 100, North Little Rock. Thea’s gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Hungrytown: Acoustic Folk Duo
The Faulkner County Library is pleased to announce the return of the acclaimed acoustic duo, Hungrytown in concert at the library on Friday, March 9 at 7 pm.
“You’ve heard the joke: the greatest songwriter of all time is Anonymous. But songs like "Long Black Veil" and "John Henry" didn’t spontaneously appear around a campfire somewhere on the great plains or on an Appalachian mountain trail: somebody actually wrote them. The songs on Hungrytown’s latest album Any Forgotten Thing have that kind of resonance. The duo of Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson have immersed themselves in classic American folk music to the point where they’ve been able to pick up where those regrettably unaccredited songsters left off. This effort is rustic, yet in the moment: decades from now, … Hall’s broodingly aphoristic songs will be remembered as the folk music of the early part of the 21st century. Her nonchalantly lilting yet minutely nuanced vocals pack a quiet wallop, as does her casually purist tunesmithing, while Anderson’s…
