A bronze sculpture exhibit entitled “Illusions” by Enrique Cepeda will be on display at the Arkansas Tech University Museum until mid-October as part of the 2016 Hispanic Heritage Month celebration on campus.
The exhibit is presented with assistance from the Mexican Consulate in Little Rock and the Galeria de Arte Ikal in Saltillo, Mexico.
Cepeda specializes in lost wax casting, a process that allows for the creation of duplicate metal sculptures as a result of casting them from the original.
Among those in attendance at an exhibit opening reception on Friday, Sept. 16, were Rodolfo Quilantan Arenas, head of post for the Mexican Consulate in Little Rock, and Dr. Juan Jose Mendez, owner of the “Illusions” collection and the Galeria de Arte Ikal.
The Arkansas Tech Museum is open weekdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Techionery, which is located at 1502 N. El Paso Ave. in Russellville.
Terry Johnson, museum director at Arkansas Tech, said there will be an additional opportunity for guests to view the “Illusions” exhibit during Family Day 2016 on Saturday, Oct. 1, when the museum will be open from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
