Art in Fashion
Fayetteville Public Library
401 West Mountain Street, FayettevilleJanuary 27, 2022 - March 31, 2022
Water media artist Cheryl Kellar sees the world around her through the magical lens of fashion. “Art in Fashion” is an exploration of fashion in the daily lives of New Yorkers and Northwest Arkansans alike. Kellar was curious as to whether there would be a noticeable difference in this personal expression between New York, the recognized fashion capital of the United States, and that in Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas. Clearly, art is always in fashion. Geographic influences exist, but it is obvious fashionistas are everywhere!

The Seven Cherokee Clan Masks ᎦᎵᏉᎩ ᏣᎳᎩ ᏧᏂᏴᏫ ᏗᎵᎬᏚᎶ
Fayetteville Public Library
401 West Mountain Street, FayettevilleAugust 1- September 30, 2021 The Seven Cherokee Clan Masks (ᎦᎵᏉᎩ ᏣᎳᎩ ᏧᏂᏴᏫ ᏗᎵᎬᏚᎶ) is an exhibition at the Fayetteville Public Library where we can use library resources to learn about culture and view it through the eyes of a Cherokee artist. Jeff Edwards’ creative journey for the Seven Cherokee Clan Masks required study and numerous discussions throughout his community to bring these representations to life. Especially since the focus on the Cherokee and other Indigenous people was to destroy culture, extra effort must be made to learn the ways that bring authenticity to the Cherokee Clan history. Jeff has been a part of the centering of the Cherokee Syllabary for over a decade and includes text in most of his visual designs including in these works.
