Cuba Visits Bentonville
Transporting Transformations: Cuba In and Out is the new exhibit just up at 21c Bentonville. This diverse exhibit explores paradox in the years following Fidel Castro's retirement. Ozarks at Large's Katy Henriksen speaks with Alice Gray Stites, chief curator and director of art programming for 21c, about the exhibit, as well as her philosophy "art is a verb," which she presented for the TEDx conference at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm.

A natural gas rush, fueled by new shale drilling techniques, is taking place in north central Arkansas on the Fayetteville Shale reservoir--one of the most productive plays in the U.S. The industry promises to generate well over $18 billion dollars by 2012, provide 11,000 jobs, valuable royalties to land holders and much needed tax revenue to the state. But as Jacqueline Froelich reports, certain residents claim collateral damage due to a lack of environmental oversight. As a result, U.S. EPA is now investigating the potential adverse impact so called "slickwater hydraulic fracturing" may have on water quality and public health.
