UD Talent Showcase

Six UALR students who are Americorps members working with the University District Partnership on a youth initiative are hosting a talent show featuring youth from the District from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, April 30, in the UALR Donaghey Student Center, Room G. The show will provide an outlet for self expression while stimulating the young students' creativity and literary activity. The talent show categories include poetry slam and short stories, music, voice, and other artistic forms such as magic, joke telling, and visual art. The goal of the youth initiative is to expand and improve opportunities for adolescents who live in the area.

The University District includes the Fair Park, Broadmoor, Point O'Woods, College Terrace, Oak Forest, University Park, War Memorial, and Curran-Conway neighborhoods. For more information about the talent show, call 501-683-7356 or email university.distict@yahoo.com.
