Events: Gallery

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

Natalia Franco is the sculptor and creator of Goop World, an ever-expanding realm of characters, design and explorative sculpture.

She uses materials like ceramic, paints, resin, steel, foam and faux plants, finding no end to the expansive nature of sculpture. Her desire to create is fueled by the human experience – a release of love, pain and soul that opens the heart and mind and frees up space for introspection and observation. “Protection Through Connection” Franco’s first solo show at MIXD will take place in July.
