“Travelled back to Little Rock. Tour of the Arkansas Art Centre.  A superb collection of Signac drawings and significant paintings, ceramics and sculptures that include Picasso and Chagall. Discussion ensued on a connection with the Laing Art Gallery.”

“Followed by a Civic Reception in the Arts Centre. The formal exchange of city gifts and an affirmation of the joint commitment to increase our endeavours to formally establish a sister city relationship. Formal addresses made by Mayor Stodola and by Cllrs. Lower and Stokel-Walker emphasising the strength of the bond between the cities and looking to the future and its’ opportunities. A wonderful event that brought together many of the key individuals in the city of Little Rock together with our delegation towards ensuring that early progress is now made towards the agreement to enter into a Sister City relationship.”
