"""Becoming,"" the second exhibition in its 2026 art series ""Sanctuary: Finding Refuge, Building Community."" The exhibition features the work of Mary Springer, Robbin Robertson, and Megan Kirk—three artists whose diverse practices explore transformation, identity, and the unfolding of authenticity that happens when we feel safe enough to change.
""Becoming"" examines sanctuary not as a static place of arrival, but as a dynamic space of metamorphosis. The exhibition asks: What happens when we find refuge? How do we grow, heal, and discover who we're meant to be when we're finally free to transform?
FEATURED ARTISTS:
Mary Springer brings four decades of artistic evolution to this exploration. A Memphis College of Art graduate (BFA, 1974) who studied with Philip Pearlstein and pursued self-guided studies in Italy and France, Springer's career spans roles as Design Artist for the City of Memphis, appointee to the Arkansas Arts Council under Governor Bill Clinton, and co-founder of Eureka Springs' beloved White Street Walk. Her work has been exhibited from the University of Arkansas to private collections including that of Helen Walton, and is held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Eureka Springs Art. Springer's journey—from gallery owner of WilloSpring Gallery of Fine Art to establishing Mary Springer Fine Art in 2014—embodies the exhibition's theme of continuous becoming.
Robbin Robertson, a Texas A&M graduate and fourth-generation folk artist, creates colorful, whimsical multi-media works spanning canvas, wooden and metal collages, and photography. Her vibrant folk art style draws inspiration from travels across Europe, Latin America, South America, Asia, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. Robertson's work, currently represented by galleries from St. Thomas to Corpus Christi, reflects a life spent in constant creative exploration—carrying forward a family legacy while forging her own distinctive vision. Her art celebrates the joy found in transformation and cultural exchange.
Megan Kirk has spent 20 years capturing the essence of Eureka Springs through her lens, documenting the town's evolving identity through yard art, parades, street art, local characters, springs, and her powerful ""Signs & Civil Rights"" collection. What began as a pandemic project five years ago has blossomed into a remarkable body of work, with over 1,000 prints sold and exhibitions in galleries throughout downtown Eureka Springs. Kirk's photography chronicles both personal and communal becoming—the ways a community grows, changes, and finds its voice over time."

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.

There will be 2 showings for this event. One from 3pm-4:30pm and one from 7pm-8:30pm.

Joshua Stacy was ten years old when he asked God to let him do the impossible.

God said no.

Ever since he's had one goal. Find the impossible.

Impossible Things is a close-up magic experience for only 10 people at a time. Over the course of an hour and a half, Joshua shares many of the loopholes he has found in the fabric of reality. He will solve problems that shouldn't have solutions, produce patterns that shouldn't exist, and happen upon coincidences that can't be explained. Some come from the techniques he has spent years developing, others seem to happen all on their own, and one was set in motion before anyone stepped in the room.

Ten seats. Ten shows.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

What is close-up magic? This is not a stage show. Joshua works at a table, just a few feet from his audience. Every effect happens in your hands, on the table in front of you, or in plain sight with nowhere to hide.

Run time: 1.5 hours

What to expect: Guests are seated in an intimate semicircle of ten chairs. Participation is encouraged but never required. Out of respect for the experience phones should be put away for the duration of the show.

Age recommendation: This show was intended for a focused audience, 16 or older.
