Apologies to: Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio, Brooks Robinson, the chemical element boron, Kurt Vonnegut, the Penatagon and Subway restaurants and their five-dollar footlong jingle.

Bucky Ball, a geometric, LED sculpture by artist Leo Villareal, is the first temporary outdoor installation for the museum. The work gets its name from Buckminster Fuller, an architect who designed geodesic domes. Ozarks at Large’s Christina Thomas spoke with Villareal about this and other works.

The Idle Class, a magazine about the arts in Arkansas, started as a Tumblr in 2011. Founding editor Kody Ford then launched it into a website and most recently as a print glossy distributed free throughout the state. The second print issue debuts tonight at The Stolen Glass in Fayetteville. Kody and Andrew McClain, managing editor, stopped by the studio recently to discuss both the challenges and rewards of running a magazine for the arts in Arkansas.
