Midnight Movies is Northwest Arkansas’ immersive haunted attraction, where fictional original horror stories are brought to life through movie-quality sets, live actors, special effects and cinematic sound. From the moment your feature presentation begins, you’ll step directly into a world of slashers, creatures and supernatural terror.

This is more than a haunted house—it’s a full-scale horror experience designed to make you feel like you’ve walked into the middle of a scary story. Gather your bravest friends and we'll see you there.

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.

Free, no tickets required.

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.

Free, no tickets required.

Seasons of Change is a meaningful experience, hosted by Joan Minor and Kathy Smith Darko of j&kcollabs LLC.
Seasons of Change was created from a deep understanding of the power of community.
“We know firsthand how powerful it is to be surrounded by women who understand, who encourage, and who walk alongside you.”
This gathering is designed to create a safe uplifting space for women to connect, share, laugh, reflect, and encourage one another through all the seasons of life. Join us for an experience featuring powerful speakers, real stories, vendor marketplace, fashion show, and more.
“Our deepest hope is that this gathering becomes a turning point; a day where you find your voice, rediscover your strength, and leave knowing you are not alone.”
Seasons of Change is more than an event—it is an invitation to pause, connect, and embrace the season you are in while finding strength in the women walking alongside you.
A portion of the event will benefit Mommying Made Me Do It, a local nonprofit whose goal is to create a safe space and help mend the gap between community, resources, and general support and promotion of all moms and their endeavors. J&K Collabs has partnered with this organization to fundraise and provide therapy vouchers for 5 women who attend Seasons of Change.

Come celebrate the beginning of the voting season with us! Wear your costumes! Bring your kids! And make a plan to vote early with us!

Here in Arkansas, we can start voting Monday, October 19, and it’s time for us to make a plan – together! We’ll have folks who know where the voting centers are, who can help you check your registration, and answer questions about how and where to vote. But, we’ll also have music and games, silly costumes and treats – it’s time to celebrate our right to vote!

We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.

No Kings: Vote Early is an unprecedented day of action designed to turn people power into voter power. This time, we’re protesting by voting. We’re making plans to vote early, helping our neighbors learn where to vote, and connecting folks directly to local election protection work that will continue through and beyond Election Day.

Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.

A core principle behind all No Kings 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 and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

The UARK Department of Anthropology and Predental Studies Program will be visiting the Fayetteville Public Library to teach kids and families about oral health and toothy traditions from around the globe!

At this event, children will be given a “tooth passport,” and each station they visit will earn them a stamp. Stations will represent different regions of the world and will be attended by Anthropology faculty and graduate students, clinical partners, and Predental Studies students who will talk about tooth-loss-related traditions and about oral health practices.

A fully-stamped passport will be rewarded with a goodie bag!

This event is funded by the University of Arkansas Humanities Center.
