International Art Piece ‘RedBall Project’ Arrives in Northwest Arkansas
Northwest Arkansas is abuzz with excitement as the world’s longest-running street art work, the ‘RedBall Project’, arrives in the region for a five-day adventure. This 250-pound, 15-foot inflatable mobile sculpture brings public art to a new level, transforming urban spaces into interactive playgrounds. Set to captivate audiences from September 10 to 15, 2024, this global phenomenon is sure to generate a whirlwind of excitement throughout Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Siloam Springs.
A Journey of Daily Installations
Artist Kurt Perschke’s work is all about surprise and interaction, and this tour is no exception. Each day, the RedBall will be wedged into a new pedestrian space or architectural feature. It’s an art piece on the move, reflecting the style and energy of each host city. This site-specific installation is deliberately designed to access the imagination embedded in each viewer, making it a unique encounter for all who witness it.
