NWA and Tulsa trade artists in new exchange program

The big picture: Participating artists can network across the two regions. People from Tulsa regularly visit NWA and vice versa, and it's a relatively easy drive. Both areas have growing art communities, Brittany Johnson, spokesperson for CACHE, told Axios.

• "Part of the creative process is helping people with exposure," she said.

Zoom in: Tulsa-based Antonio Andrews is in NWA and using The Medium, a visual and performing arts space in downtown Springdale, according to CACHE.

• The Tulsa Artist Fellowship is hosting Fayetteville-based photographer and educator Aaron Turner.

What's next: How often the exchange will take place or how many participants it will take is TBD. The two organizations are monitoring the first one, which ends July 8.
