Fort Smith, AR — The Arkansas Colleges of Health Education (ACHE) welcomed community members, artists, and guests on Thursday evening (April 9) for the “Spring Art Exhibition: A Celebration of Choctaw Art and Culture” reception at the ACHE Research Institute Health & Wellness Center (RIHWC).
Attendees gathered in the Brenda and Anthony Altman Gallery to experience a vibrant collection of more than 70 works created by Choctaw artists. The exhibition, presented in collaboration with Choctaw Nation Public Arts, showcases both traditional and contemporary pieces that reflect the rich heritage, storytelling, and artistic expression of Choctaw culture.
