    Featured Student Member

    Each month we cele­brate the work of one or more of our talented student members.


    This week’s featured student member: Jen Antonetz
    July 7 — 20, 2025


    Jen Antonetz is an emerg­ing artist based in Little Rock, Arkansas. Jen explores and reflects on her Mexican-Amer­i­­can iden­tity through collage, sculp­ture, and furni­ture. She uses collage processes and wood­work­ing tech­niques to develop and construct forms grounded in her cultural expe­ri­ences. Jen seeks to reach others with a multi­cul­tural longing by being an active partic­i­pant in the Little Rock art scene and growing new opportunities elsewhere.

Featured Student Member: Jen Antonetz

Jen Antonetz is an emerg­ing artist based in Little Rock, Arkansas. In May 2025, she earned a Bach­e­lor’s in Studio Art, empha­siz­ing in furni­ture design, from the School of Art and Design at The Univer­sity of Arkansas at Little Rock. Jen explores and reflects on her Mexican-Amer­i­­can iden­tity through collage, sculp­ture, and furni­ture. She uses collage processes and wood­work­ing tech­niques to develop and construct forms grounded in her cultural expe­ri­ences. Jen seeks to reach others with a multi­cul­tural longing by being an active partic­i­pant in the Little Rock art scene and growing new opportunities elsewhere.

In Jen’s words: I use craft/​making as an outlet for story­telling and world­build­ing as I create objects that live within the same space and speak to my cultural identity.

  3. Events

    Family Dinner

    A solo exhibition by Vivian Chiu at Penland School of Craft

    For her upcom­ing solo exhi­bi­tion FAMILY DINNER at the Penland Gallery, Vivian Chin further devel­ops the body of work she began in Passages (those that carried us), expand­ing the series of sculp­tural vessels to incor­po­rate narra­tive marquetry, explor­ing conjoined vessels, larger-scale, and revolv­ing vessels with inte­rior rotat­ing imagery. The marquetry will explore the artist’s narra­tive via child­hood memo­ries, portraits, and food from Chiu’s expan­sive family dinners in Hong Kong.

  4. Events

    Cinders: Burned, Scorched, and Pyrographed Works in Wood

    Museum for Art in Wood

    This exhi­bi­tion presents artworks that revel in the incen­di­ary prop­er­ties of wood as a medium. Illus­trated across twenty-six objects by twenty-two artists and largely drawn from the Museum’s perma­nent collec­tion, Cinders delves into the enig­matic tension between perma­nence and fragility that mate­ri­al­izes in fire-treated wood.
