Bryan Alexis on Murals, Art, and Life in Fort Smith

<p>This episode features Bryan Alexis, professor of graphic design at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith and the artist behind nearly 50 murals across the region, including Fort Smith favorites like the Gutenberg mural, Alfonso Trent, and the Woman of the River Valley series. Bryan walks through how a mural class born out of the 2015 Unexpected festival turned into a two-decade career, and gets candid about what AI generation means for graphic designers trying to protect their creative voice. The conversation closes out with his favorite places to eat around Fort Smith and his double life building screen-accurate costumes as a member of the 501st Legion. It&#39;s a fun, honest look at art, teaching, and staying creative in Fort Smith.</p><p><br>#FortSmith #LocalArtist #DiscoverFortSmith</p>
