Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art: Bentonville, AR

Hey, Friend! Welcome back to another post. Today, we’re traveling to the “Natural State” – Arkansas. This was my first visit to Arkansas and I saw a lot of neat stuff. My first stop was the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and there was so much to do and see! The campus is massive so make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. There are so many galleries full of art, trails to walk or bike outside, a café for food, a library, and a gift shop. Give yourself plenty of time to take it all in!

Comedian Ashley Austin Morris returns to Springdale’s Jones Center

Also next week, comedian and actor Ashley Austin Morris will be back at the Jones Center in Springdale. The Texas-born comedian now lives in New York City. Her stand-up special on YouTube, “Slightly Off,” covers a lot of ground, personal and topical. During a conversation this week with her, she was in her home in New York. We covered plenty of ground, too, including her ability to infuse an audience with energy from the earliest moments she’s on stage. I asked her how she does that.

Photo captures how one Shoshone family kept traditions in the Ozarks

Dan and Kathy DeLane, along with their daughters Concha and Rena (pictured in this 1981 photograph), ventured to the Ozarks from the Shoshone reservation in Wyoming with a dream, which was coming to fruition through a cattle farm in southern Dallas County, Missouri. Dan and Kathy made it important to keep Shoshone traditions central as they raised Concha and Rena in a majority Anglo-Saxon world. Much of the children’s day-to-day practice of keeping traditions alive showed up in how they wore their hair, the adornments on their clothing, and how they balanced traditional cultural practices with learning about their new culture in the Ozarks. This image is part of a much larger collection of historically rich photographs from the News-Leader’s photo archive. Each week, the Springfield-Greene County Library will tap into this vast collection and present an interesting image “from the darkroom" and share its history. This image is presented in partnership between the Springfield-Greene County Library District and the Springfield News-Leader. For more historical images of the Ozarks, visit: thelibrary.org/fromthedarkroom .
