"Some Guy Named Robb AKA singer songwriter Robb McCormick is a native to Arkansas and Colorado. He has headlined festivals and opened up for acts as diverse as John Fogarty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) to Sister Hazel, Kansas, and the Bellamy Brothers. As well as sharing the stage and bill with Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul, & Mary), Steve Poltz (Jewel) & Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) among others.
Growing up he was inspired by lyrically and musically rich songwriters like Paul Simon, John Denver, and Neil Diamond. In his teenage years he found alternative rock music through bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode, and The Replacements.
His music is an amalgamation of all these influences, as well as Reggae, Punk, Soul, and Blues. His love for music is matched only by his high regard for lyricism.
He has spent his life writing and performing music, full time professionally since he was a teenager. He’s performed thousands of shows, to hundreds of thousands of people, nationally and internationally. Robb averages 150 shows per year, including corporate events, private parties, venues, bars, restaurants, schools, prisons, and more.
In his own words:
“The best shows are when I get to connect with the audience. When they are with me and I’m with them and we get to share a special moment together. Most musicians will tell you we perform music to make connections. That’s me. The best room is one who has come to have fun, to surrender to the evening and see where it may take us. From tears to laughter. From clapping hands to singing along with me. I live for those musical moments.”"

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.
