Verdant Studio's Director of Creative Placemaking and Artist Lead, Dayton Castleman, was recently profiled in Bentonville City Lifestyle magazine about his journey into public art, his work as an artist in NWA, and his ongoing work to provide art services for the AEC and real estate environment through Verdant Studio! ??????
I distinctly remember some of the perplexed responses and concerns I received from friends in Chicago 13 years ago when I shared that I'd resigned from my teaching position and was going to relocate with my family to Bentonville, Arkansas. In many respects all I could perceive was the excitement of being immersed in a historic cultural experiment and being present and working from the very beginning, and was oblivious to the risk that my friends saw. I'm grateful to Michelle for taking the time to listen and tell a little of that crazy story. I'm glad we did it!
