From Design to Reality: NWACC Students' Sculptures Come to Life

Arts On Main in collaboration with the North West Arkansas Community College (NWACC) conceptualized a public sculpture project that would harmonize and bring the community together.

Students presented their drawings, models, and proposed budgets in an exhibition at the AOM galleries in June of 2022 (a few of the architectural designs are shown). Five students were selected and awarded $2,500 each to fabricate their chosen work.

The sculptures will be permanently installed late spring 2024. The community and visitors can see and enjoy the sculptures on display at selected sites in and around downtown Van Buren.
