“Frida, Puro Corazon” by Isaac Helguera

April’s cover pays tribute to the 2023 Art Moves outdoor exhibit situated along the Hot Springs Greenway Trail. The public is invited to attend the debut Friday, April 28, at 5 PM.

This event kicks off the 10th annual Arts & The Park Festival – a 10-day celebration of the arts in Hot Springs and surrounding areas.

Plan to stroll the Greenway Trail to view the newest 20 images reproduced on 30” x 40” metal panels. 

The theme for the exhibit is “Creative Roots” which celebrates the varied cultural backgrounds of Arkansans. 

The artists will be on hand for the reception for a “Meet & Greet.” So come meet the artists, enjoy “Old Time” music by Hot Springs’ musician Ken Tillery and then walk the Greenway Trail between Hollywood Avenue and Belding Street to view the entire exhibit.

Look for the QR codes that link to information about each image, including the artists’ statements and biographical information.

The Arts & The Park program guide included in this issue will provide further details about the exhibit as well as the exciting lineup of arts events that will take place from April 28 – May 7.

Our favorite cover designer did a great job showing off the beauty of Isaac Helguera’s “Frida, Pura Corazon.” Thanks, as always, to Richard Stephens for giving us a memorable cover. 

Happy April, Folks! Hope to see you around town!
