“The Hearts Project: A COVID-19 Memorial” is an ongoing, large-scale work of art made to honor the 13,068 Arkansas deaths from COVID-19 (as last reported by the State of Arkansas to The New York Times in March 2023). The exhibit will be at the Fayetteville Public Library starting 12/31/24 and going through 2/9/25. The current collection includes 20% of the total hearts needed to complete the project, displayed in quilt-like collage designs and housed within 6’w x 5’h custom-made frames. Conceived by principal artist Monica Moore, this work is made possible through community support from a variety of individuals, some of whom include volunteers who cut the 2″ x 2″ paper hearts. Student members of Fayetteville High School’s National Art Honor Society also participated in a variety of activities linked to designing and creating the first three frames.

Knowing the West: Visual Legacies of the American West the first major traveling exhibition to embrace and examine how people see the American West. It aims to tell a more inclusive story and show the diverse groups who shaped the art and life of the West.

Americans know the West in many ways, from Hollywood images to personal experience, with every perspective a thread in a tapestry of voices. Knowing the West goes beyond the stereotypical scenes, showcasing essential and often overlooked stories of the West through art, including those of Native American artists, women, and many more.

The art of the American West tells stories of persistence through innovation, adaptability, and resistance. Native American artists, in particular, have used art to transform, adapt, and challenge dominant structures.

Since the late 1990s, KAWS has been creating a cast of iconic characters steeped in the American zeitgeist that populate his work. Each with their own distinct personality pulled in part from their creator, these characters have been a constant throughline in the artist’s career. The exhibition takes its title and thematic jumping-off point from the sculpture titled FAMILY (2021), which brings together four of KAWS
