Focal proudly manufactures the PS 165V system in France.
Someone else in your life might say you're splurging, but you know better. A sound upgrade is a reinvigorating investment in your car, and you'll find few brands more reliable than Focal. This PS 165V 6-3/4" component system delivers the goods with many of Focal's signature technologies working in harmony. The light but exceptionally rigid Polyglass woofer cone produces richly-textured bass and midrange frequencies without coloration. A responsive, sturdy butyl surround ensures long-lasting performance, while the woofer's phase plug enhances dispersion for excellent sound staging.
The PS 165V's aluminum tweeter sports Focal's inverted dome structure for wider dispersion and extended high-frequency response, giving you sparkling detail in the high notes. Three different mounting possibilities let you get creative with a custom installation and get hands-on with the stereo imaging in your car.
Each crossover network features 3-level tweeter control, and allows you to select three different crossover points. If space is an issue in your vehicle, Focal gives you the ability to split up the included crossover networks. You can mount a high-pass filter near each tweeter and a low-pass filter near each woofer, instead of having to mount one big crossover on each side of your vehicle. This system will handle up to 80 watts RMS, and you'll want to use an outboard amplifier to get the best possible performance from these speakers.
Installation note: You'll need a pair of our universal backstraps to install the tweeters in the factory locations.
Went in easy, easy to tune and sounds great!
CriticalMach, Spring, TX
Went in easy, easy to tune and sounds great!
But was too broke to get them. well, I am not a rich man, but I happen to have enough to pick up these fine speakers, and I am glad I did. here is my system - -Pioneer AVH-X2700BS -Front door components Focal PS 165 - Rear door coaxial JL Audio C2-650x - Sub JL Audio 10TW3-D4 - AMP Alpine PDX-V9 5-Channel The Focals, with the help of the amp, are the cleanest speakers I have ever heard. I am not much of an expert, or review writer, but there is zero distortion at any sound level. Every sound that comes out of these speakers are clean and crisp. It is night and day from the factory system. As you can see, I kind of skimped on my head unit so i could put more money into the speakers and amp. And it paid off big time. I listen to mostly metal and reggae, and these perform beautifully.
Pros: Sounds crystal clear with no distortion
Cons: none
I've only had these installed for a few days, so take that into account. I installed these as the front speaker set of my 2011 WRX wagon. I was able to remove the tweeters from their housing by carefully scrapping off the gunk/glue they used to hold it in place. It took a few min, but the tweeter will pop out. The tweeter fit the diameter of the stock housing, so I used some DAP putty gum glue to hold it in place. I then put some Dynamat to mold it in place and put the back mounting back in place. It seems to have worked fairly well. I installed the woofers with the the 6.5" x 3" Boommat. I believe the 6.75" will be too large, but it may vary. I had multiple layers to make it clear the window: door>Dynamat>foam insulation>custom mounting bracket>Boommat>speaker. I did cut some small holes on the bottom of the Boommat. There seems to be a lot of debate over this, but I did it anyways... The xovers were kindof a pain, but not Focals fault. They are actually smaller than they look, but I still had to find where to mount them on the door. I was able to fit both of them around the back center of the front door. There is an area by your elbow when driving; however, I put Dynamat on my door, so I was able to use industrial velcro and some Dynamat tape (great stuff) to hold it down. I wasn't able to lock them together. Advice. For WRX owners, just use the wire harness and don't make the mistake of buying large gauge wires. Not worth it. U
Pros: -High quality build and materials -Sounds great
Cons: -Removing tweeter from housing -Not really a con, but they are almost too much for my whimpy compact sub...
I heard these speakers at a local audio dealer and knew I had to have them. Their sound quality is the next affordable step towards a world class audio system. Focal delivers and so does Crutchfield!
Pros: Great sound, great quality, great price. The imaging That these speakers provide is amazing.
Cons: I am too cheap to pay for shipping so I had to wait a few days before they came in.
I just installed these on a friend's recommendation. I replaced a set of Alpine components with these. The difference is night and day! The mids are smooth and the highs sparkle! You will not be disappointed with these. I am looking forward to finding out how much better they sound when fully broken in.
Pros: Can't do much better than Focal for the price. Well made and very high quality.
Cons: Make sure you buy them from Crutchfield or another authorized Focal dealer instead of Ebay, it's very easy to find fakes out there.
These are my first set of Focal speakers and i'm very impressed! No complaints, good value for the money.
Pros: crisp sound, high quality
Cons: none
Great speakers sound is crystal clear and loud with no distortion ran at 100w recommend this if you are looking for clarity
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
These speakers sound amazing and are very well built.
Pros: Sound reproduction is beyond compare for the price. Many options with crossover settings. Individual crossovers for mounting options.
Cons: Individual crossovers require more mounting space.
Very impressed with the sound produced by these speakers. Have listened to various types of music (bluegrass, classic county, classic pop/rock, new age, etc...) and the speakers exhibit excellent clarity and accuracy. They are being driven by a JL Audio amplifier (XD500/3v2) with 75 watts RMS.
Pros: Sound quality. The design of the crossovers should allow more flexibility.
Cons: None.
Great speakers, very loud and crystal clear.
Pros: Sound
Cons: Little pricey
Too bad these speakers are behind the doors, they look like works of art. The sound quality is fantastic. I just hooked them up to my factory stereo. With an amp, you could probably entertain the entire neighborhood.
Pros: Crisp, full sound on the factory stereo
Cons: Two somewhat large crossovers to install in each door. Be prepared to exercise a little yankee ingenuity. But I'm sure having two crossovers is one reason the sound is so great.
These speakers have AMAZING sound quality! The tweeters are crisp and precise. I realize the Focal PS165V are a little spendy... However they are worth every penny!! I would recommend these to anyone. This is my second set (my wife refuses to allow me to remove the others from our other car.. She is a fan also). I have tried Infinity (Perfects), Boston Accoustic's, And several other brands and nothing compares. 5 Stars!! Try these, you will not be disappointed (of course you will need an amp to really appreciate these).
Pros: Sound, Quality, tweeter mounting options, nice and small crossover, Dudu mention you amazing these sound??
Cons: A little pricey (but worth every penny)
Name sounds for itself
Pros: Clean, crisp, punchy
Cons: None
I had just installed a new Alpine head unit and 4 kicker coaxials in my Silverado. The sound I was looking for just wasn't there even after adding a subwoofer. I purchased the focals hoping it would kick up the mid base and wow did they ever. Great sound even with the head unit set at flat. I'm tempted to buy some focal coaxials for the back speakers but it sounds pretty darn good with the kickers back there.
Pros: Great sound lows mids and highs. Love the adjustments on the tweeter crossovers so you can set the highs just where you like them.
Cons: Wish the crossovers came in single unit at least for my install.
Just installed these on my son's 2009 Rav 4. Sound quality is exceptional and the deal at Crutchfield, under $200, was amazing. Wife was rocking it out in minutes. Installation of woofer straight forward, tweeter is a bit tougher on a Rav4...but a hot glue gun and little carving with my dremel made it all worth it.
Pros: Sound Quality...........Bass is Amazing!!! Crutchfield free ad ons made it alot easier to install than a big box purchase i made for rear speakers last week
Cons: Focal instructions were a bit 'lacking', but there was enough info online to figure it quickly.
These are the best sounding car speakers I have owned. They make whatever artist ur listening to come alive and sound as if they're right there performing live. A little more work involved hooking them up because of the dual crossovers, but no big deal. Are they pricey at $400? Heck yeah. Are they worth it? Heck yeah! Def recommend dynamatting doors with these unless u think vibrations add to ur music.
Pros: Incredible sound. Very clear, natural, and loud.
Cons: Expensive. A little concerned with the limited power handling compared to my previous speakers, but hopefully won't be an issue.

Polyglass Cone: The woofer cone has a cellulose pulp base and is coated with a uniform deposit of hollow glass microballs. The addition of the Polyglass layer significantly increases the cone's rigidity without adding much weight. This combination takes advantage of the accuracy and neutrality of the hard outer surface, but maintains the superior damping characteristics of the cellulose pulp.
Surround: The rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity.
Phase Plug: The bullet-shaped phase plug in the center of the woofer ensures a smooth, flat off-axis frequency response by preventing the high frequency sound waves emanating from one side of the cone from interfering with sound waves from the other side of the cone.
Aluminum Basket: The woofer features a non-magnetic cast aluminum basket.
Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including Focal, call this size speaker a 6-1/2". Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6-1/2" speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size woofer as a 6-3/4". Please refer to the Crutchfield Vehicle Selector to confirm fit in your vehicle.
Inverted Dome Tweeter: The tweeter is an inverted aluminum dome, producing a broad sound stage. The tweeter has a Neodymium magnet to provide a powerful magnetic field for the voice coil, while still maintaining the tweeter's compact dimensions.
Mounting Options: The tweeters include two types of surface mount housings, one low profile and one angled:
|Flush Mount
|Low Profile Surface Mount
|Angled Surface Mount
|Mounting Height
|Mounting Depth
|0.875" (screw depth)
|0.3" (screw depth)

Crossovers: Individual crossovers are included for each woofer and each tweeter. The crossovers can be mounted separately, docked in pairs, or all four crossovers docked together and mounted as one unit. The crossover inputs and outputs are screw terminals and will accept bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.3" wide. Because the woofer and tweeter crossovers are separate, and have separate inputs, the system can be bi-amped. The woofer crossover point is 3.5 kHz, all the crossover slopes are 6 dB/octave, and the tweeter crossovers offer two adjustments:

it was the best model for the same price as the lower models. best value for the money [ Anthony Apr 19, 2016 ]
They are awesome sounding speakers and I'm adding them to a 4 speaker system that has a pair of Focals already. [ Richard Apr 14, 2016 ]
Owned Focal speakers before and they are the best! [ Richard Apr 06, 2016 ]
Great product at a great price [ Justin Mar 19, 2016 ]
Quality., focals reputation for having the best speakers. Crutchfields price was just a little more than unauthorized dealers on ebay. It's always worry free with crutchfield. [ R Mar 04, 2016 ]
Great speakers and $150 bucks off regular price. [ EDWARD Mar 03, 2016 ]
I've used Focal in previous installs, so i'm comfortable with returning to them. I'm really looking forward to these too. [ Dustin Feb 24, 2016 ]
I've heard them before [ DUANE Feb 17, 2016 ]
I bought these because I've heard great things about Focal and they were a good deal. [ Nicholas Feb 09, 2016 ]
I have had many pairs of Focal components, they always meet and usually exceed my needs in a high-end quality component. The sale price was definitely a factor. [ Jason Feb 04, 2016 ]
I have been researching Focal speakers and these offer the most bang for the buck. Crutchfield is one of the few places where you can find high-quality speakers. [ William Jan 30, 2016 ]
Great reviews, discounted price. [ JONATHAN Dec 27, 2015 ]
Excellent Speakers for a great price. The guide for selecting the correct installantion parts was a big help. [ Larry Dec 11, 2015 ]
I don't know about the speakers, but you might damage your ear drums. [ Josh Apr 04, 2016 ]
Country of origin is listed as France. [ Kenny Mar 30, 2016 ] Staff
Thanks for your question. For information on comparing two or more models I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences and help you make the best choice for your system and your budget. [ Kenny Mar 15, 2016 ] Staff
The positive is standard size, but the negative is small. I used standard 12g female wire connectors. If you keep it centered on the negative, it will still fit just a little snug & solder it & heat shrink it, & you'll be fine. I used stinger 12g through out my truck. & don't listen to the others who say it's too big. 12g is great wire. [ Terry Jan 26, 2016 ]
I don't think the human ear could hear the difference in sound between using 16 gauge which fits perfect and 12 gauge. But if you absolutely want to use 12 gauge, you could purchase pin connectors that would fit. [ MICHAEL Jan 10, 2016 ]
Honestly 12 gauge is a little to big for these speakers. Soldering would be the only method of connecting to the speakers with that size gauge. I suggest going with 16 gauge which should be plenty for the speakers. [ Timothy Jan 10, 2016 ]
Think placement makes a difference as well. I have the rear set in my wrangler set both on the low setting as they are right at my ears and the fronts both on the middle setting. Both switches. [ Matthew Dec 07, 2015 ]
I used the middle setting on both crossovers and I'm very happy with the sound. [ luis Dec 02, 2015 ]
I cannot answer this question, as I've not been yet able to install the speakers. They LOOK like they will sound good, however. [ Darell Katz Dec 02, 2015 ]
the tweeters got the outer shell but that can be remove and mounts pretty flat installed in my Tahoe and sound great. [ Mark Nov 12, 2015 ]
Hey Doug the diameter of the tweeter without the case for surface mounting is 1.7 inches exactly. [ Alexander Nov 10, 2015 ]
I used a 1-11/16 inch hole saw, and they are a nice fit. They pressed in by hand, and have yet to fall out. [ Adam Nov 10, 2015 ]
I had a shop install them into the factory setup, took a while with a dremel they said but I didn't observe. [ RON Nov 10, 2015 ]
You can choose to either flush or surface mount them. [ MICHAEL Jul 01, 2015 ]
Tweeters can be mounted with or without the pod. I removed them from the pod and mounted where the stock tweeters were, with a little modification to the stock housing. [ David Von Jun 30, 2015 ]
Yes, they can be flush mounted. They come separated from the pod and include a retaiining ring that can be used to flush mount. [ gregory Jun 30, 2015 ]

Breathing new life into an old building
Vacant building becomes new village hot spot
Village of Wales - The building at 104 Main St. had fallen into a state of disrepair after sitting vacant for some time. For nearly two years, Town of Delafield resident and real estate agent Leslie Bley would drive by and see the potential in the building.
"I always thought it was such a significant building that it really was sad that it was in such bad shape," Bley said. Despite the lack of a roof in some spots and the extensive repairs the building desperately needed, Bley saw a diamond in the rough. Being so close to the bike path, it could be a perfect place for people to stop and relax. And one year ago, she bought the building.
Work quickly began to replace the missing pieces of ceiling, replace the electrical system and to repair the damp basement. HVAC was installed, and the rotted wrought-iron railings were recreated with new materials. Most of the interior walls had to be repaired or replaced. "I just wanted to restore it back where it was," said Bley.
The building was divided up to accommodate several retail spaces.
"I really wanted something like a restaurant or coffee shop so that you'd be able to walk to it from anywhere," Bley said.
Hairstylist and makeup artist Jatziry Neuburg of North Prairie remembers seeing the building before the repairs were done.
"It needed everything new. The building really needed somebody with courage to take it over," she said. Loving the uniqueness of the building, Neuburg signed on as a tenant and opened her salon, Studio Amour, in the building last November.
Post renovations, "One of the things that caught my attention is that through the ceilings, you can see the naked wire outside of the wood," she said. It's just one of the many old details Bley kept that caught Neuberg's eye.
Beyond the physical building, "I really like the story behind the building. I really like hearing the stories of people who say 'you know, there was a restaurant here,' " said Neuburg. "You have a home feeling when you come into it." Many people come into her salon and tell her about a previous owner who was known her for having flowers outside of the building.
Occupying one of the upstairs spaces is Mama D's Coffee, owned by Oconomowoc resident Diana Markus.
"It's been a tiny seedling almost my whole life, to have something like this," she said. "I'm more old bones and vintage and eclectic and comfortable."
Bley was right to want a coffee shop in the spot, as the response has been tremendous. Wales is "a sleepy community but they get out." People who use the bike path want a destination, and they've found it at 104 Main St.
"I think it's been a good spot," said Markus. "People are happy the building came alive."
Village President Jeffrey Flaws said Bley "did some terrific renovations to (the building) and made it into some really nice spaces." He added that "it's a very pleasant space to have a little something."
Flaws explained that as a village, "we've tried to structure things so if that can get people interested in taking over residence in the village and converting them to retail space."
The building is also home to Bright Ideas Learning and Jill Vento Attorney at Law.
The building was constructed in 1912 as the Wales Bank building. The bank opened Dec. 16, 1912. Since then, the building has been home to the Wales Post Office, a pool hall and a barbershop in the basement. Bley said the building also once housed a restaurant.

Wellington: A Personal History
HarperCollins Publishers, Oct 7, 2010 - History - 480 pages
A bestseller in hardback, this is a highly-praised and much-needed biography of the first Duke of Wellington, concentrating on the personal life of the victor of Waterloo, and based on the fruits of modern research. Christopher Hibbert is Britain's leading popular historian.
Wellington (1769–1852) achieved fame as a soldier fighting the Mahratta in India. His later brilliant generalship fighting the French in Spain and his defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo earned him a dukedom and the award of Apsley House (No. 1, London) and a large estate in Hampshire.
His second career saw him make his mark as a politician with commanding presence. Appointed Commander-in-Chief for life, he became Prime Minister in 1827 and presided over the emancipation of Roman Catholics and the formation of the country's first police force.
Privately, he was unhappily married, and had several mistresses (including two of Napoleon's) and many intimate friendships with women. The private side of the public man has never been so richly delineated as in this masterly biography.

A nice biography by Christopher Hibbert. Although Hibbert disclaims any "in depth" coverage of Wellington's military and political careers, most readers should find what he offers more than sufficient ... Read full review

NHS to host alumni baseball game
NATCHEZ — Natchez High School baseball coach Brian Kossum will attempt to harken back to the good old days when former players regularly returned to square off against one another.
The school plans to host a NHS alumni baseball game May 25 at Chester Willis Field, and Kossum said he's already spoken to approximately 30 players who have shown interest. It would be the first time the school had an alumni baseball game since 2004, he said.
"When a lot of the older guys found out I was coaching (the baseball team), they approached me about it," Kossum said. "This is something they used to do every year, and we're asking for anyone who graduated from North Natchez or South Natchez high schools to come out and play."
Pre-registration is now open, and Kossum said registration will begin at 10 a.m. May 25 before the games start at 11 a.m.
"We'll play until nobody wants to play anymore," Kossum said. "Hopefully we'll have concessions and music playing so it will be a good atmosphere."
Kossum said the excitement that surrounded the old alumni baseball games is why he wanted to start it back up.
"It was fun just to get out there and play against guys you had always heard of and people you respected," Kossum recalled.
The event will also help raise money toward taking the high school team to a Mississippi Braves game during the summer, Kossum said.
"One of our goals was to make baseball a part of their life," Kossum said. "I want the kids to pay attention to how the players carry themselves. We can go up there, have a good time and be a team during the offseason."
Kossum and his brother, Drew, have already begun throwing to try to loosen their arms, Kossum said. He said they both hope to be in playing shape come May 25.
"You kind of think you can jump back out there and do it, but I know from coaching the past two years that you can't," Kossum said.
And at age 30, Kossum said he's hoping there's still some youth on his side.
"When we played before, we had guys that were 40-plus coming out there," he said. "I just hope I won't be one of the older guys there."

per year of carbon dioxide emissions, a total that will increase to nearly eight billion metric tons per year by 2030, a twenty-
five-year increase of about 30%.66 Nor is a financial charge indexed to other consequences of fossil fuel burning. Increases
in the emission of sulfur, methane, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, volatile organic compounds, and other
particulate matter wreak havoc on human and natural habitats alike by causing things like acid rain, urban ozone (caused
primarily by nitrous oxide emissions, resulting in respiratory problems in humans), and global climate change.67 Among
fuels used for electricity generation, coal is by far the largest producer of these emissions, producing far beyond its
proportional market share.68 While coal-based power is seen to be the least expensive source of electricity on the market
today,69 the market dynamics that favor coal are substantially flawed.70
The indirect costs associated with the production of electricity from coal are simply staggering.71 During the mining stage
land is permanently damaged, air and water sources are contaminated, ground subsidence causes surface collapses, and
workers can be injured or killed.72 During processing and utilization, heavy metal and acid is given off, and particulate
matter, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides are emitted into the atmosphere, causing seemingly immeasurable
damage and destruction to public and private property, wildlife, and public health.73
Every year, the more than 600 coal-burning plants in the United States74 emit more than 98,000 pounds of mercury into the
air75 while creating another 81,000 pounds of mercury pollution from fly ash and scrubber sludge76, all after 20,000 pounds
of mercury is released in preburning "cleaning" procedures-totaling 200,000 pounds.77 That mercury, along with arsenic,
cadmium, and other heavy metals, seeps out during the coal-burning process and travels either directly through ground water
and airborne particles, or indirectly through the food chain (often through fish), to humans.78 Mercury, even in small doses,
is converted easily through human metabolism into the neurotoxin methylmercury.79 The result of the contamination is that
one out of every six women of childbearing age may have enough of a concentration of mercury to permanently
damage a developing fetus, meaning 630,000 babies a year born in the United States (out of 4 million) are at risk for
severe neurological consequences as a result of gestational mercury poisoning.80 Coal also causes nearly 554,000 asthma
attacks, 16,200 cases of chronic bronchitis, and 38,200 non-fatal heart attacks each year.81 Not surprisingly, proximity to
coal-burning facilities increases the likelihood that a person becomes one of the 23,600 deaths every year attributed to power
plant pollution,82 each death taking an average of fourteen years off normal life expectancy.83 All told, the health care costs
caused by plant emissions total an estimated $160 billion annually. 84 Other grisly consequences from living near coal
burning include a high rate of stomach cancer,85 autism in children (for every 1,000 pounds of mercury released in a Texas
county, autism rates rose 17%),86 and pneumoconiosis in coal miners (also known as "black lung disease").87
Environmentally, the externality costs of air pollution, acid rain, and global warming are also significant.88 For instance,
according to one set of estimates, the "annual marginal cost of air pollution and acid deposition" is between $10.39 and
$11.02 per short ton of coal; for climate change, the marginal cost is between $0 and $4.50 per million Btu.89 Absent any
consideration of climate change, the approximate "social costs of coal as a percentage of private costs range from about 40%
to 275%."90 The range for natural gas is 12% to 95%, 112% to 123% for petroleum, and 14% to 17% for nuclear. 91 Another
set of estimates emphasizes that "coal is by far the most under-priced energy resource,"92 and that at a price of $30 per ton
would carry with it external costs of almost $160 without including climate change risks which would bring costs to $190 per
ton.93 While monetizing the total social and environmental costs to society of fossil fuel use is an inexact science, the causal
link between polluting fuels and resulting externalities is undeniable.94
Despite arguments and economic models that show wide-ranging and heavy social costs to fossil fuel burning, and in
particular coal consumption, unless and until the industries themselves are compelled to account for these costs, investment
will remain high in traditional energy sources.95 Alternatives, still too underdeveloped as a whole to compete with the
infrastructure96 and reliability of fossil fuels,97 will need time and money to make up the difference.98 With technological
advances in turbine design reducing the levelized cost of output," and not reliant on fossil fuel burning like biomass
power,100 wind energy has the best chance of all truly clean energy sources to make the most immediate and long-lasting
impact on the electricity market.101

A Note from Todd...
We took another giant step toward our goal of a renovated Arts Center in February with a public vote—84% in favor—to bond the revenue from an existing sales tax on out-of-town visitors for the benefit of the Arkansas Arts Center, MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History and Historic MacArthur Park. We are incredibly grateful to all who voted and overwhelmingly supported this measure. The success of this vote is a clear statement from the citizens of Little Rock that they value what the arts add to their lives, which is great news for anyone in our city who loves culture and the arts.
More than a quarter of a million people use our facility every year, and over 50 years that has taken its toll on the building. The list of needed upgrades is long, including the mechanical systems, children's theatre, lighting systems, and Museum School studio spaces, not to mention the tremendous need for additional space to properly house our art collection and create new educational spaces for families and kids.
Our next step will be to work with the city and the private sector to maximize the potential of these funds. With the continued support of our community, members, board and staff, we have the opportunity to create something aspirational and transformational for our community and visitors to enjoy for decades to come.
I encourage you to experience all our cultural offerings this Spring! In February we opened two historically significant exhibitions where you can witness life as art. Dorothea Lange's America and the groundbreaking Industrial Beauty:Charles Burchfield's Black Iron will be on view through May. We also welcomed the monumental painting Admiration by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, in addition to Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Madame Henriot in Costume, a magnificent full-length portrait of the actress from the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio.
And don't miss the hauntingly beautiful, large format photographs of models posed within garments of live flowers and other natural materials in the Alice Pratt Brown Atrium by Nathalia Edenmont. Force of Nature is the artist's first major American solo exhibition. Edenmont traveled from her home in Sweden to visit Little Rock in January for a lecture on her life and work.
Our galleries are free and open to the public. Get involved, take a class, see a show or attend a program and be a pART! Enjoy the treasures in your own backyard as we look forward to an exciting new future for the Arkansas Arts Center and Historic MacArthur Park.
