Artosphere Public Art Project: Upper Ramble Fence Line
As part of this year’s Artosphere, Arkansas’ Arts + Nature Festival, Walton Arts Center, in partnership with the City of Fayetteville, asked local artists to beautify the fences around the Upper Ramble construction site.
Participating Artists:
- Gina Gallina
- Katy Kane
- Yevgeniya Nommesen
- Heather Weston
- Ashley Harris
With the Cultural Arts Corridor project underway, the construction fence around the Upper Ramble site provides a blank canvas and a unique opportunity to involve our community in a public art project. This project also supports Artosphere’s mission of sustainability and experiencing art in nature or art influenced by nature.
Walton Arts Center provided a five-foot by seven-foot mesh canvas – upcycled Broadway banners that previously hung from the building – and gave each selected artist $500 to help with the cost of their supplies.
The artwork will be completed by May 1 and will be installed by Walton Arts Center. The artwork will remain on display until the Upper Ramble is finished later this year.
Walton Arts Center is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, national origin or veteran status.
