"Sometimes All That Remains Are Visions and Dreams: School Days in Clark County, Arkansas (1920-1930)"
Sponsored by the Henderson State University's Jane Ross Photography Project, the exhibition features a series of prints created by photographer and artist Rhonda Berry.

In choosing the "Old Schools" imagery, the exhibit honors the memory of Jane Ross and her interest and support of education in Clark County as well as her professional enthusiasm for the world of photography. Beverly Buys is Director and HSU Faculty Advisor for the Project, Rebecca Hall Fulmer is curator and writer for the Project and Rhonda Berry is printer, photographer and artist for the exhibition.
