Hoping this third time is a charm…
After two postponements and related rescheduling, Opera in the Rock is pleased to present a new season with Scalia/Ginsburg: An Opera by Derrick Wang in partnership with the Clinton Foundation.
In celebration of live opera returning to Central Arkansas and our love of all things Scalia/Ginsburg, we’ve curated an exclusive gift guide of supreme importance for Ginsburg groupies + opera enthusiasts. Most items are sourced or made locally; all are independent local boutiques and crafters.
Purchase tickets for Scalia/Ginsburg: An Opera by Derrick Wang to one of the five performances, August 26-29: www.operaintherock.org/events.
This one-act comical opera is at the Clinton Presidential Center.
Supreme Court Sangria
Order a refreshing Supreme Court Sangria before or after the show at 42 bar+table. Reservations are encouraged for lunch, dinner, and brunch – proof of vaccination is required for entry into the Clinton Presidential Center which is otherwise temporarily closed due to the pandemic.
I DISSENT RBG Necklace with Gavel Charm
This locally-made, hand-stamped I DISSENT necklace is like a contemporary dissent collar, nodding to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A portion of the proceeds (20%) benefit the Arkansas Association of Women Lawyers Scholarship Fund.
RBG Watercolor Print by Emily Wood
This signed giclee print is created on archival watercolor paper with a white margin – all proceeds support the ACLU of Arkansas in honor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
I’m Speaking Candle
Inspired by the subtle strength of femininity, I’m Speaking is as fresh as it is grounding. Sparkling top notes of citrus, vetiver and ozone with a floral medley of violet, jasmine and earthy angelica – a warming base of sandalwood and amber adds depth + complexity to the fragrance.
Dissent Candle
A hand poured scented soy candle – featured scents include lily of the valley, amyris and leather.
RBG Pins
These sassy pins celebrate the legacy of RBG and include a rubber-clutch backing.
MILKDADD
Inspired by her fascination with body language and the female experience, MILKDADD’s often-evolving style never seems to fit into one category – yet her obsession with the female face remains a constant. She works on several mediums including spray paint, chalk, charcoal and bold acrylics.
Lisa Krannichfeld
Lisa Krannichfeld utilizes her childhood experiences with two intermixing cultures + traditions in her work, which focuses on the woman. Her expressive portraits refute the traditional portrayal of women being passive subjects to gaze upon, evident in their confrontational, and at times defiant expressions. Lisa uses traditional Chinese ink and watercolor materials in a nontraditional way with mixed materials.
Michael Schaeffer
His stylized portraits confront the idea of personal identity and social status within American culture. His latest series Touched by the Hand of God addresses the concept of social status with a nod to the style of rococo + a modern hand. This New York native currently resides in Little Rock.
WordsWorth Books celebrates current events, history and fiction through the written word. Its values the power of books and the connections that come with being a local independent bookstore in a global world.
