The event, which includes a group of international and local artists selected to create a series of public art works throughout the downtown area, is headed by Experience Fayetteville, the city’s tourism department. Artists and artwork are curated by global creative house JustKids, the same group who organized the renowned “The Unexpected” street art festival in Fort Smith.
