Have you heard the cool news? The world’s longest-running street art work, The RedBall Project, is coming to Northwest Arkansas, and you can see it in person on Dickson Street! RedBall is a traveling public art piece by American artist Kurt Perschke. It has been to more than 40 cities globally. The magnetic, playful and charismatic nature of the RedBall aims to bring out the imagination embedded in all of us. For a week, it will travel around NWA, including a stop in Fayetteville at ArtCourt on Friday, Sept. 13. Perschke saw the "Bring Your Own Ball" sign at ArtCourt and took that as a challenge! Learn more from Creative Arkansas Community Hub & Exchange (CACHE): https://lnkd.in/gHZmssx5 The RedBall Project has been coordinated by the Municipal Arts Alliance, a two-year CACHE program. It is being coordinated with the help of these partners: @fayettevillear @downtownfayetteville @springdale_arkansas @downtownspringdale @Rogers1881 @godowntownrogers @Bentonvillegov @downtownbentonville @siloamsprings @discoversiloamsprings @mainstreetsiloamsprings @mixd.gallery @21cbentonville

My incredible?Thaden School?Urban Studies students recently won the Outstanding Student Project award from the Arkansas chapter of the?American Planning Association?for the tactical urbanism intervention we executed at the intersection of 8th and Main. Throughout the country, only college and graduate students have ever won this award! At a?City of Bentonville City Council meeting last week, the city presented the award to the students. I couldn’t be prouder. Shout-out to all the amazing community partners who helped make this dream a reality: Runway Group, Trailblazers , Verdant Studio, Time Striping Inc., CEI Engineering Associates, Inc., PeopleForBikesNWA, Creative Arkansas Community Hub & Exchange (CACHE), Urban Land Institute Northwest Arkansas, wel-nest, Crepes Paulette, HEROES COFFEE COMPANY, the City of Bentonville, the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and numerous volunteers. Can’t wait for the next project.
