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’ characters posed in the style of a family portrait. As witnessed throughout the show, the relationships between the figures can be complex, familiar, and astonishingly heartfelt entryways into human emotions.

"Through mixed media, yet divergent styles, Amber and Sandra take the viewer on an exploration of the power of nature to ignite, to inspire, to nurture, to calm the human spirit. Sandra Spotts is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas and a current resident of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. She cultivated a love for art at a very early age which led to earning a degree in Art from the University of Arkansas with a minor in English.
Sandra spent many years teaching elementary and junior high art as well as working as a professional artist and designer. In addition to painting, usually in an abstract expressionist style, she has worked and exhibited as a weaver, paper maker and creator of sculptural contemporary basketry, winning several awards. One of her works is a part of the permanent collection of the Art Museum of Arkansas.
Her love of writing and storytelling influences her mixed media painting style in which she often incorporates fragments of letters, books and other found objects and original prose. Her themes are often highly personal and emotional responses to life events, observation of nature or global events. Sandra is co-producer and performer on the live storytelling show, “Homegrown Tales.”
She currently exhibits regionally and nationally. Amber Leibee, a watercolorist and amateur naturalist. My artistic intention is to record the profound peace inherent to silent moments of solitary study and observation of the natural world. My works are small, meant for an audience of one, an intimate exchange between artist and viewer. I am influenced by Muriel Foster, Alexander von Humboldt, and Clare Walker Leslie. All paints used in my palette are hand mulled using water from a local spring, this process helps me understand how my pigments will mix and behave together on paper. The majority of my work is done en plein air, rendered first in graphite, then watercolor, and on occasion finished with pen and ink details. Amber Leibee is a watercolorist and amateur naturalist.

"In the hands of Batterton and Edwards, two distinct musical traditions merge into something both timeless and fresh. Their sound embodies the natural fusion that occurs where Ozark grit meets Delta groove — a musical intersection that's uniquely Arkansas.

For nearly twenty years, this duo has explored the rich territory between mountain and Delta traditions. Joe Batterton brings storytelling depth through his lyrics and vocals, while his solid rhythm guitar and mandolin work lay the foundation for their sound. Mark Edwards weaves between styles with masterful ease, whether he's flat-picking, playing Delta blues fingerstyle, or making his slide guitar moan like a midnight train.

Their music reflects the historical exchange between Arkansas's highlands and lowlands, when mountain folks would journey down to the Delta for cotton harvests, bringing their banjos and fiddles to swap songs with blues players. This cultural cross-pollination creates something that's more than just country blues - it's the sound of Arkansas's full musical heritage.

In performance, Batterton and Edwards move effortlessly between traditional numbers and original compositions that speak to contemporary life while honoring age-old themes. Their multi-instrumental approach keeps their sound fresh and dynamic, but it's their deep respect for both traditions that gives their music its authenticity. Whether they're playing a festival stage or a front porch gathering, their sound carries the raw emotion of Delta blues filtered through the clear mountain air of the Ozarks.

Every song tells a story of this special place where hill country meets Delta plain, where ancient ballads blend with cotton field hollers, where mountain streams flow down to meet muddy waters. In their music, you'll hear the echo of Doc Watson's guitar meeting Son House's slide, feel the spirit of mountain gospel merging with Delta spirituals, and experience the continuing evolution of Arkansas's rich musical heritage."
