This fall, roam a world outside time as acclaimed studio Klip Collective uses light, sound, and state-of-the-art projection mapping to transform acres of Ozark nature into a never-before-seen journey across time and space.

Witness the natural rhythms of the Earth brought to life, see yourself fractured across the surface of a broken time machine, marvel together at the movements of the forest in a landscape of light, and more.

“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.

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
