Arkansas Heritage Working Together June has been an exciting month for us at Arkansas Heritage and while the temperatures continue to soar outside, inside we’ve got some cool exhibits in our museums and exciting happenings within our agencies. The grand opening of the “Green Book” exhibit at Mosaic Templars Cultural Center has been a particular highlight as I watched firsthand agency directors, archivists, curators and other staff from across Arkansas Heritage pitch in and help get this exhibit installed under the supervision of the Smithsonian. The exhibit itself is a must see (and closes August 1st so make plans), but the lasting story for those of us at Heritage is that we can and do work together to bring the best to our constituents. All of our Heritage museums have been busy reopening at full hours and easing back into in-person events. In this newsletter, you’ll see some of the highlights from all of our agencies, but please make special note of the attractions available for your summer travels. You may also notice that we’ve moved to a new format for our newsletters. We know your time is valuable and we want to provide you with a quality electronic newsletter each quarter that keeps you informed and points you in the right direction for obtaining more info about our events.
