FAYETTEVILLE — A one-hour film about the life and work of the late Fayetteville architect Fay Jones will be shown at 9 p.m. March 25 and 1 p.m. March 28 on the Arkansas Educational Television Network.

The film, “”Sacred Spaces: The Architecture of Fay Jones”, is by award-winning documentary filmmakers Dale Carpenter and Larry Foley.

Jones, who died in 2005, taught at the university for 35 years. In 2000, the American Institute of Architects named Jones one of the 10 most influential architects of the 20th century and recognized his Thorncrown Chapel near Eureka Springs as the fourth most significant structure of the 20th century. Jones was mentored by Frank Lloyd Wright, who was a major influence on Jones’ work.

The film is now available on DVD from the University of Arkansas Press.
