While dining or walking on Emma Avenue in Springdale, you might notice some unusual sounds a distinct knocking, a door opening, boots on leaves and birds in the trees; chickens clucking; children laughing; dishes clinking; a microwave whirring on; a Spanish guitar beginning to play. Depending on the time of day, it might feel a bit ghostly, given that you don t see any doors opening or chickens nearby and not a cowboy boot in sight.
Editor s Note: This is April Wallace s first selection. It comes from stories written throughout the year, with bits published Feb. 20, July 24 and some posted purely on social media, but it will certainly have a lasting impact on not only the downtowns of Springdale and Bentonville, where its main art-showing opportunities hinge, but the entirety of Northwest Arkansas.

If you've been in Northwest Arkansas very long, you may have met artist and community organizer Amber Perrodin a time or two. She founded The Little Craft Show and the Springdale Taco Tour, among many other things, and now works for CACHE, a team of working artists bonded by a love for the intersection of creativity and community.
