The work of these artisan groups documented and collected here has been the driving force of the Historic Arkansas Museum’s mission to collect and preserve Arkansas’s creative legacy and rich artistic traditions.Arkansas Made demonstrates that Arkansas artists, artisans, and their works not only existed, but are worthy of study, admiration, and reflection.
