Creativity Arkansas "reveals the hidden history of how African Americans have shaped the narrative of Arkansas throughout the state’s history," the museum's press release said.
The Creativity Arkansas collection began in 2008. By 2011, the collection had 42 works, according to an Eye Candy post. The collection is funded by a grant from the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council.
