The University of Arkansas Libraries in Fayetteville will host “Wherever You Go, There You Are,” an exhibit of watercolors and prints by Daniel Kerlin, through the end of June in honor of Arkansas Heritage Month. The exhibit includes paintings of several Arkansas landmarks and buildings.
Guests can see images of Jerry’s Homestyle Cooking on College Avenue, Roger’s Rec on Dickson Street, Dave’s Barber Shop, all in Fayetteville; The Alvin Hotel and Peck’s Drive-In in Hot Springs; and Basin Park Hotel in Eureka Springs. The exhibition also features paintings of commonplace items like Mexican Beer Truck or a pantry shelf in Kingpins Cans.
Kerlin, who was born in Dayton, Ohio, moved to Fayetteville at the age of 6. His work will be on display in Mullins Library on the Fayetteville campus.
