Discover the often-overlooked history of Black public education in
Fayetteville—from its beginnings as a mission
school for emancipated students in 1866 to
eventual district-wide integration nearly a century later in 1965.
Margaret Holcomb, Jimmye Whitfield, and Cory Perry, documenting collaborators of historic Black public education in Fayetteville, will
examine the stark disparities Black students
experienced in their segregated school and introduce the trailblazers who played a part in integrating our public education over this nearly
100-year period.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to
the area, this presentation offers insights into a
vital part of our shared history—one that continues to shape our community today

Many individuals contribute to history but never get their due. Women and other marginalized groups traditionally received less ink in history books than the “great men” of history who were mainly white males. This course looks at nine women--three each session--whose achievements are not commonly known. Among the nine women are a scientist, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a pioneering pilot, a suffragist, a candidate for the U. S. presidency, an activist for women’s and African-American’s rights, a British anthropologist, and a pioneering politician from the Western U.S

"Teresa Pelliccio underwent a significant mind-shift in 2004 after reading The Power of Now and began a meditation practice. Shortly thereafter, she began experiencing conscious, otherworldly “trips” during her sleep. To understand and process these experiences, she turned to art. Her art forms are born from personal associations and blend spirituality, the metaphysical, intuition, self-empowerment and rebellion with femininity, whimsy and impulse. It is her wish that her work might inspire you to consider what may lie beyond the physical and encourage you to explore it. And, to love and support yourself fully as you do. 
Hilka Irvin is a Minnesota native who made Eureka Springs her home in 2014. A self-taught artist, she works in various mediums—oils, acrylics, and watercolor—each reflective of her mindset. In addition to visual art, she writes poetry and short stories to fulfill her creative soul. Her work is often described as eclectic, as she creates instinctively rather than adhering to expectations. Hilka thrives on stepping outside her comfort zone and expresses herself through art and writing that continues to evolve.
RIGDON IRVIN has always thought of art as a history of humankind. His art is very much influenced by the fact that he is a child of the 70’s. He was introduced to all kinds of music, art and various aspects of the counter culture at an early age, by older siblings, who were coming of age during that time. He loves color and watching it explode on the canvas, incorporating the architectural lines of the mid century, as well as the atomic themes of the space age. Being an abstract artist allows him the freedom to create art from “an anything goes” mindset. "

In honor of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday in 2025, we will explore her life, works, and legacy from a fresh perspective. Both seasoned readers and those new to Austen will appreciate experiencing the story of her authorship through images of original documents and artifacts. Austen began writing fiction in her teenage years, warmly supported by her family, especially her clergyman father. Yet she had to wait until she was in her thirties to see her first book in print. In this course, we will discover what happened in between, as well as how a household of creative women made it possible for her to focus on her writing and achieve publication. We will consider how and why her literary reputation grew after her death, and we will take a tour of the contemporary adaptations and retellings that continue to broaden her readership.

Join Cocoon Yoga Lab for an energizing, yet mindful yoga flow. This twice-monthly class offers a balanced mix of gentle challenge and restorative movement, perfect for those who want to cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner calm.

Throughout the session, we’ll move through a variety of postures, guided by breath and mindful movement, building both physical endurance and mental focus. This practice is beginner-friendly and open to yogis of all levels. Options will be provided to either soften or intensify your practice, allowing you to meet your body where it’s at.

While the pace will help you work up a light glisten, this isn’t an intense sweat session—making it the perfect way to unwind and connect with your body.

Practiced at room temperature, this class is a welcoming, feel-good way to move your body, quiet the mind, and leave feeling centered.

Tickets are $10 ($5 for members), see upcoming event dates and reserve your spot online, or speak with the Box Office at (479) 657-2335 today.

Please bring a yoga mat to practice on, along with any props to help make you more comfortable, such as a block or small bolster. We also recommend you wear comfortable layers you can easily stretch and move in.‌‌‌
