Smithsonian Design Museum curator to speak in Little Rock about Fayetteville exhibit

A Smithsonian Design Museum curator will speak Tuesday in Little Rock about an exhibit that is currently showing in Fayetteville.

Cynthia E. Smith, a curator of socially responsible design at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, will give a lecture at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Arkansas Arts Center, 501 E. Ninth St.

She will talk about an exhibition called “By the People: Designing a Better America.”

Smith spent two years traveling to areas affected by natural and man-made disasters, places of poverty, shrinking industrial cities and sprawling metro regions to research the exhibit.
