Arkansas Made
Over the past four decades, Historic Arkansas Museum’s Arkansas Made research team has worked tirelessly to transform the cultural image of Arkansas from a crude, backwoods pioneer state to one rich in artistic traditions. Our many years of meticulous research have revealed a multitude of artisans, cabinet makers, silversmiths, potters, fine artists, quilters, and more, working in communities all over the state. The original works of these artisan craftspeople have been the driving force of Historic Arkansas Museum’s mission to collect and preserve Arkansas’s creative legacy.
