The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR’s Printing Press is one of JR’s most extensive immersive and experiential works to date. After taking portraits in one of three individual photo booths, visitors enter the interior of an oversized, whirring printing press – turning their image into a tangible work of art while offering a glimpse into the creative process of JR.

"Finding Our Way | February 5 - April 26, 2026
The moment of arrival—what we carry when we seek sanctuary, transitions, and the crossing into safety. Sandra Spotts, artist. Jay Lane, artist. Familiar images made from various materials and objects, found and recycled, placed in a format of controlled chaos, is at this point in my journey, the medium of choice for the
“Finding Our Way” exhibit at Gotahold Brewing. I see society as satirical subject matter that exists in a surrealistic landscape of twisted perspective that is filled to the fences with social ironies. And yet, I still have to maintain my sense of humor about what has been and what will be with the activities du jour based on fear, war, greed, and hate. With this sense also comes my interpretations, expressed visually based on my
experiences, feelings, and health, from finding my way as an artist. I hope these pieces give you a sense of curiosity that you continue to carry with you while you are finding your way through all of this we humans call life."

Come explore one of the
most dramatic waterfall clusters in the Ozarks
on this rugged hiking adventure into the remote Boen Gulf drainage of the Upper Buffalo
River Wilderness. Arkansas boasts more than
200 natural waterfalls, and in winter and spring
these landscapes come alive—nowhere more
spectacularly than where two creeks converge
to form Magnolia Falls (26 ft.), Woods Boys Falls
(33 ft.), and Stahle Falls (63 ft.) in a steep, secluded gorge.
This 2.1-mile round-trip trek follows an old jeep
road before transitioning into a short bushwhack, creek crossings, and uneven, rocky terrain. The effort is well rewarded: seeing all three
waterfalls on a single outing offers exceptional
scenery for a relatively short distance. Because
of the rugged footing and off-trail sections, this
hike is recommended only for active, fit hikers
comfortable with challenging conditions.
Meeting location and other information will be
sent to participants upon registration. Activity
level: 3 (Difficult.)
