June. 2008: Artsmart: Where can kids go this summer to learn about art and engineering, science and building and have fun doing it? Artsmart, a free interactive educational exhibit, is now open at the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, 701 Main St., Pine Bluff. The exhibit combines hands-on arts activities with the FETCH! Challenge Lab from the popular PBS kids' television show. Recreating the colorful, energetic feel of the popular television show, the Center's FETCH! Lab is a place where kids can try science and engineering challenges like the ones they see on the show. Part game show, part reality TV, and part spoof, the FETCH! Challenge Lab featuring Ruff Ruffman targets 6-10 year olds.
