Chuck Ramirez (1962-2010) was a San Antonio-based artist with a reverence for material culture. For many years, his day job was as a graphic designer and art director for the Texas grocery chain H-E-B. In his commercial work, he helped sell products that lined store shelves and filled home pantries. Ramirez’s photographs will prompt viewers to consider that the goods people buy, consume, discard, or treasure are more than just things; they are evidence of life. In the photographs, the artist positioned material culture as reflections of humanity, community, memory, and loss.

In his artwork, Ramirez often recast commercial products as windows onto the people who consumed them. Ramirez’s affinity for everyday “stuff” was a continuous thread throughout his practice. The artist’s ability to find wonder in the ordinary takes center stage in this exhibition.

Robert Peterson and The Crusade have officially announced their first live concert performance, scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 8:00 PM at the Hughes Brothers Theatre in Branson, Missouri. The highly anticipated event will showcase the band's powerful blend of melodic Christian rock, soaring guitar tones, and classic arena-rock influence in the heart of Branson's entertainment district. 
The announcement comes as momentum continues building around the band's debut album, Change Coming On, and the breakout success of their song "Sometime," which debuted at #2 on the independent Christian Radio Chart Weekly Top 20.

At this two-day weekend event, the Northwest Arkansas and River Valley community celebrates the fiber arts-rich tradition in the Ozarks. Ozark Folkways hosts Fiber Fest at its historical location on Scenic Hwy 71 south of Winslow.

Fiber Fest honors all things fiber: lace making, spinning, weaving, felting, quilting, crocheting, and much more. The event also honors regional fiber artists through demonstrations, outdoor installations, vendors, and community yarn bombing.

Everyone is welcome to the event, from the curious to the serious artist, and all ages. Admission is free.

Keith Haring in 3D is the first exhibition to highlight Keith Haring’s work in three dimensions, inviting visitors to move through, around, and within his art like never before. In the course of his short life, Keith Haring transmitted across a dizzying range of creative channels: painting, sculpture, installation, video, murals, performance, printmaking, early digital art, and more. While Haring helped define the look and mood of the 1980s, he also saw clearly a future that has become our present.

Haring is typically thought of as primarily a two-dimensional artist, but Keith Haring in 3D focuses on a lesser-known and highly compelling aspect of Haring’s practice as a sculptor. He created hundreds of three-dimensional artworks, beginning with painting objects he found in the street. Eventually, Haring made monumental sculptures in wood and metal, and even a whole store for his art.

Haring was, above all, a master of line, with an instinctive ability to compose on multiple scales. Haring’s work in three dimensions has never been the focus of a major exhibition and has rarely been shown. Keith Haring in 3D will fill this gap in public understanding by showcasing a wide range of Haring’s works, including sculpture, totems and masks, skateboards, clothing, boomboxes, paintings, drawings, and even a 1963 Buick Special. The exhibition will be accompanied by a major book published by Phaidon/Monacelli.

British artist Lucy Sparrow is internationally renowned for her unique and immersive installations filled with thousands of items, all meticulously handcrafted from felt. Through her work, Sparrow transforms everyday retail environments into playful, nostalgic, and tactile worlds that are both familiar and entirely new. Lucy Sparrow: The Beginning of Convenience, Sparrow’s first museum exhibition in the United States, will take visitors back in time through an immersive “time capsule” installation of a 1980s-90s Walmart-inspired supermarket.

Expanding on her extensive archival research practice, The Beginning of Convenience includes more than 20,000 individually hand-crafted and exquisitely detailed felt replicas of supermarket products, ranging from food and beverage items to beauty products and household goods typical of a not-so-distant past. Throughout the exhibition, Sparrow will explore a particular moment in history that she refers to as the “beginning of convenience,” a time when the rise of dual-income households in the 1980s necessitated consumer goods that prioritized speed and convenience over effort and taste. Changing roles within the household led to the development and proliferation of quick and easy consumer goods, such as microwave dinners, frozen foods, and out-of-the-box meals.

In addition to the supermarket experience, The Beginning of Convenience will feature a built replica of Sparrow’s studio – known as the Felt Cave – and a new self-made documentary that follows Sparrow’s work in the months leading up to the exhibition at the Momentary.
