About
Arkansas Arts and Fashion Forum was founded in 2017 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to offering educational programs and professional development for fashion designers, artists, and other creatives in the region. It worked to expand access and opportunity by supporting designers from diverse backgrounds and by fostering community engagement.
In 2020 the organization moved into a larger creative space in Springdale to increase collaboration and to better serve communities across Northwest Arkansas, including underrepresented cultural groups.
In 2021 Arkansas Arts and Fashion Forum officially merged with Northwest Arkansas Fashion Week. The merger created a new organization called INTERFORM, which now carries forward and expands the mission of cultivating creativity, inclusion, and professional growth within the regional fashion and arts community.
