Thea’s Art Department celebrates Joelle Storet

Joelle Storet is the featured artist in the next installment of the Art Department hosted by the Thea Foundation. The exhibition titled “Awakening” opened with a reception Feb. 1.

Guests were able to meet the artist, who lives in Fayetteville and is gallery manager at Art Ventures NW Arkansas. Attendees also enjoyed heavy hors d’oeuvres by Heritage Catering, beer and wine and the chance to win a work by Storet.

Storet’s artwork will be on display at Thea Foundation in North Little Rock through March 2. The Art Department is a series of quarterly exhibitions by the Thea Foundation that features Arkansas artists.
