The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR’s Printing Press is one of JR’s most extensive immersive and experiential works to date. After taking portraits in one of three individual photo booths, visitors enter the interior of an oversized, whirring printing press – turning their image into a tangible work of art while offering a glimpse into the creative process of JR. After the experience, visitors leave with their own, one-of-a-kind print.

This peaceful and nonviolent action is hosted by Indivisible NWA.

On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, a law making significant changes to the US Healthcare system, affecting Medicaid, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage, and employer-sponsored benefits.

Key Aspects:

Major changes to Medicaid include new work requirements, tighter eligibility checks, and new copays

New verification rules for the ACA marketplace enrollees, removing repayment caps for subsidies

Updates to Medicare drug price negotiation rules

National Impacts:

More than 5 million people could lose health insurance

About 700K people could lose Medicaid coverage

About 4.2 million people could become uninsured as it becomes unaffordable

We will not stand by and allow this to continue. OUR HEALTH IS AT STAKE!

“To be silent is to be complicit.”

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
