On this Independence Day, and in our first Season 11 episode, I’m delighted to share this conversation between three immigrants— and Artists 360 community activator grant recipients!
Gratitude to Mid-America Arts Alliance and the Walton Family Foundation— for the grants, and for connecting us!
Bea Apple is the co-owner and co-founder of Hillfolk, a textile studio and shop based in Bentonville.
Tram Colwin is an artist who sometimes teaches workshops at Hillfolk.
Topics included: How Hillfolk came to be, 8th Street Market’s surprisingly relevant history, COVID’s impact on craft shops, the importance of vulnerability, the joy of descending rabbit holes, and the thrill of finding a common language in art!
