The high school visual art programs of Farmington, Don Tyson School of Innovation, Springdale High School, and Har-Ber have collaborated to bring you the inaugural Teacher Curated Student Art Showcase of Northwest Arkansas! Visual arts instructors from these schools will select some of the best advanced students from their art programs. The teachers themselves will display works alongside students in this art showcase.

This is not a competitive exhibition, but rather a showcase that teachers personally curate to showcase the most interesting artwork from their respective visual arts programs. Students and teachers will be able to mingle, network, and draw inspiration from each other. 

The event and gallery are open to the public, and we hope to see you there!

The reception for the exhibition is Friday, May 2nd from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. and open to the public.

Exhibition Venue: The Medium Main Gallery, 214 S Main St, Springdale, AR 72764. 

Exhibition Dates: Friday, May 2nd – Thursday, May 15th. 

Standard Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Thursdays: 10am – 5pm

After time at the Fayetteville Public Library, “The Hearts Project: A COVID-19 Memorial” is on the move again; this time it will be exhibited at Life Styles Blair Center in Springdale, Arkansas. Joined in concert with the individuals and adults with disabilities served by the center, the 3-piece collection will be integrated within a show highlighting artistic works made in response to prompts about life during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This exhibit adds a new dimension by incorporating new voices rarely heard: those of individuals and adults with disabilities who were shut in during the pandemic. Led by art educators at Life Styles, Joanna Reid, Joelle Storet, and Rosalind Waiwaiole the words and works awaken a variety of experiences integral to composing a comprehensive story about the pandemic. During the four-month stay at Life Styles, Moore will work with the clients and art educators to create a panel that will become part of a future frame devoted to the “shut-in” experience. Reception to open this exhibit will be Thursday, February 20 from 6pm – 8pm at the Blair Center in Springdale. Join us for an evening featuring expressive works of art as a new dimension of The Hearts Project.

Poisoned apples? Glass slippers? Who needs ‘em?

Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the
hilarious hit musical that’s anything but Grimm. The original storybook
heroines are none-too-happy with the way they’ve been portrayed in

these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth.

DESCRIPTION

Artist INC Express helps artists, of any discipline, develop the building blocks for a thriving and enduring arts practice.

Led by a team of experienced, working artists, this ten-hour, hands-on workshop helps artists like you address specific needs and challenges that you’ll face throughout your career. Through discussions, activities, and hands-on exercises, your artist-facilitators, and your new network of peer artists, will help you set goals for your practice, write about your work, and build a personal brand. 

Artist INC Express is a slimmed down, yet still highly active, version of the popular eight-week Artist INC Live program, which has been completed by more than 1,500 artists since 2009. Artist INC Express explores those same core concepts of how to build a lasting arts practice in a shorter, more flexible format, to help reach a broader audience of artists.  

If you sign on for Artist INC Express, you are asked to commit to the entire ten-hour workshop, as exercises build on one another and participants develop deep relationships with their fellow artists over the two sessions. Be ready to participate throughout in group discussions, hands-on exercises, and small group work. 

And just know, it’s not over when it’s over. Right away, Artist INC Express activates a network of artists in your community, leading to more peer-to-peer resource sharing, collaborations, and support long after the workshop concludes.
