“Mystical Mayhem”

A huge thankyou to Pam Clark for spotting and capturing that fantastic photo of Emilie Boyett in full Mystical Mayhem glory. 

It’s vibrant, imaginative, and perfectly reflects the spirit of Arts & The Park and its celebration of creativity. Emilie looks like she’s having the time of her life, spreading joy everywhere she goes.  

Be on the lookout for Mystical Mayhem Productions to pop up at local events. Founded in 2022 by Emilie and her best friend, Victoria Dobson, their mission is to spark imagination for all ages at parties, festivals, and local events. 

We hear they can be found on Facebook: Mystical Mayhem Pro or mystical.mayhem.production@gmail.com

We’re also grateful to the Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance for hosting Arts & The Park. Its collaborative nature brings our community together year after year. 

Inside this issue, you’ll find their 12page 2026 Arts & The Park festival program, which we’re honored to publish annually. Keep it on hand as your 10-day list of creative things to attend. 

Finally, special thanks to our production crew—Late Shift Lizzy Colgrove, Wess, our new “Boifrin” Daniels, and his extra special LadyKat—and to Last-Minute Erin Baber for launching this cover with lightning speed. 

And as always, appreciation to our entire Magazine Team; without you, these pages would just be empty canvases.
