Not only is this month the perfect time to take in the town’s holiday décor and cheer, it’s also the culmination of the 50th anniversary festivities for The South Arkansas Arts Center (870-862-5474, saac-arts.com). Marking the end of this yearlong celebration is a special exhibit of internationally known Arkansas artist Carroll Cloar’s work in the museum’s Merkle and Price Galleries. Cloar’s paintings, which depict life in the South and his Arkansas roots, can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and now at the South Arkansas Arts Center.
