Hollister, MO—The Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) will host a solo exhibit of the work of Mary Arneson, entitled A Symphony of Color. The show will run June 6-28 at the SMAC Art Center, 7 Downing Street, in historic Hollister, MO.

This exhibit of beautiful acrylics on canvas reflects the artist’s love of nature. “My home is surrounded by forest, inhabited by a wonderful jumble of birds and wildlife! It’s a nature artist’s dream,” said Arneson. During the opening reception, she will give a short talk, as well as answer questions about her art and techniques.

The opening reception will be on Friday evening, June 6, from 6-9 p.m. Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Attendees may view the exhibit, tour the private studios, and enjoy complimentary refreshments. Vintage Paris Coffee kiosk will also be on site.

Each month during their exhibits, SMAC highlights one of the many local non-profit organizations that serve the area. This month SMAC is drawing attention to Hope Counseling Center which provides compassionate counseling services for individuals, couples, and families in Branson and nearby communities. With both in-person and telehealth options, the Center helps clients gain insight, develop coping strategies, and create meaningful change. www.hopecouncelingmo.org
