The Fort Smith Regional Art Museum is hosting a Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition showing rarely seen photos of Billie Holiday. In April 1957, photographer Jerry Dantzic had an assignment from Decca Records to photograph Billie Holiday during a weeklong run of performances at the Newark, New Jersey nightclub, Sugar Hill. What unfolded was an unexpected and intimate journey into her private and public worlds. His photos comprise the largest collection of images from any single Billie Holiday club engagement. “Billie Holiday at Sugar Hill: Photographs by Jerry Dantzic” presents fifty-six remarkable images of the jazz icon that challenge the tragic narrative that frequently defines her. The exhibition will be on view at RAM through December 27.

Don't skip your mammogram because of COVID-19! The Breast Center recommends that women have annual mammograms starting at age forty. This year, many women postponed mammograms due to COVID-19. However, you should not delay medical care during the pandemic. Delaying cancer screening delays cancer detection. The longer a cancer goes undetected, the more difficult it is to treat. Cancer is most treatable when it is found early. The five-year survival rate for breast cancer that is found early is ninety-nine percent. Mammograms save lives. If you missed your mammogram this year, don’t wait to schedule your screening. Call our main line at 479.442.6266 or toll free at 866.718.6266.
