The Our Art, Our Region, Our Time regional art exhibit is now an established part of this area's art calendar. This year is the sixth edition of this very egalitarian approach to art. Any artist in any media, of any age, with any amount of experience can apply. This year's deadline for applications is Aug. 10. We asked Kathy Thompson, curator for the exhibit, and Thomas DeBari, director of visual arts at Walton Arts Center, to talk about the annual collection of regional art. Thompson: Oh yes.

Kellams: This is Ozarks at Large. When Moulin Rouge! The Musical hits the stage, it is a three dimensional kaleidoscope of music, motion and emotion. The national tour will begin an eight show run at Walton Arts Center Wednesday night. In the musical, the owner and nightly host of the cabaret goings on at Moulin Rouge is Harold Zidler. And on this tour, every night and some afternoons, Robert Petkoff embodies Harold Zidler. Petkoff, the actor, certainly understands putting on a show.
