Art Moves: Creative Roots
An outdoor art exhibit installed along the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail.
Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance, the City of Hot Springs Art Advisory Committee and Hot Springs Parks and Trails collectively produce the annual Art Moves outdoor exhibition which is made up of paintings, drawings, and/or photographs reproduced onto metal panels and displayed along the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail. Artists were asked to draw inspiration from their own cultural roots and traditions OR our state’s collective cultural heritage for artwork they submit for the Art Moves: Creative Roots exhibition. 15 works of art were selected for the exhibition and reproduced onto metal signs which displayed along the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail between Hollywood and Belding Streets. The exhibition opened during Arts & The Park on April 29, 2022 and will remain up throughout the year. QR codes affixed to the frames of each of the pieces to provide information about the artist, artwork and exhibition.
