Please welcome another of our new Elevate Artists, Caite Mae Ramos with Bison Seed Keepers, 2026. Local Walnut, Maple Splines, Burned Oak, Big Bluestem Seed, Little Bluestem Seed, Indian Grass Seed, and Switchgrass Seed

“Here in Northwest Arkansas there used to be thousands of acres of prairie and savanna. In Fayetteville we’re now down to two remnant prairies, one consisting of about four acres and the other about 15 acres.

Bison used to roam through these prairies collecting seed on their fur, spreading growth and aiding in the cycle of the prairie. The herd would usually follow to areas recently burned to snack on the fresh growth of the grass.
Each bison in this herd is holding ‘The Big Four’ prairie grass seeds and has the ability to swivel their head to enclose and protect the future of what they are holding.”

Caite Mae Ramos (b.1991 Springdale, Arkansas) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator who utilizes woodworking, drawing, and plants to investigate their relationship with the land.
Ramos is an Oglala Lakota citizen of The Sioux Nation and founding member of the Prairie Pedagogy Research Group. Consulting and collaborating with botanists, The University of Arkansas Herbarium, and various remnant prairies they create work that incorporates lived and scientific research to connect with the leafy and legged things that surround us.
In 2015, Ramos received their BFA from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. After graduation Ramos spent two years on the Olympic Peninsula fully immersed in the landscape and moved back to Northwest Arkansas in 2017. Ramos became a Master Gardener that same year and has been obsessed with growing plants in alternative ways in a home environment with limited access to land.
Ramos received The Windgate Accelerator Grant in 2026, International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Honorable Mention in 2025, The Artist 360 Graduate Fellow Grant through Mid America Arts Alliance in 2024 and received their Masters of Fine Arts from University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 2025.

Introducing new Elevate artist Cody Norton (), now represented by .

Through sculpture, installation, and archival practice, Norton explores q***r identity, visibility, and survival within rural America. His work is deeply rooted in the landscapes and communities of the Arkansas Ozarks.

His collection confronts the emotional weight of belonging in spaces where difference is often closely watched, silenced, or forced to disappear. Across works like Do You Feel This Pressure, Aphonia, See No Evil, and In Care Of: Cord, Norton examines themes of rural q***r existence, memory, surveillance, resilience, and care.

At the center of this collection is an ongoing living archive collecting anonymous letters from q***r individuals across rural Arkansas: preserving stories through acts of protection, transcription, and community stewardship.

Born in Elgin, Texas and now based in Batesville, Arkansas, Norton is an Assistant Professor of Art at Lyon College whose work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including in London, New York, Toronto, São Paulo, Denver, and Dallas.

Now on view on the 2nd floor and in the Hive Lounge at 21c Bentonville through Elevate at 21c.

Please welcome Franky Cruz, one of 21c Bentonville’s new Elevate Artists with Vivarium Meconium Laboratory (in situ).

This installation is site-specific, composed for the vitrine, bringing together the paintings as the finished result of the Vivarium Meconium Laboratory alongside the materials and conditions that produce them. Elements from the studio—specimens, tools, and residual matter—are arranged as a composition drawn directly from the process, offering the curious viewer insight through visual evidence rather than explanation. The objects displayed allow the viewer to witness the action of metamorphosis, now held in place and made observable.

The Vivarium Meconium Laboratory (VML) is an evolving studio-laboratory where art and science merge through the metamorphosis of butterflies. Butterflies are raised from egg to emergence, releasing meconium upon emergence—a naturally pigmented fluid produced during transformation that varies in hue across species—onto prepared surfaces to generate paintings created by life itself. The cycle culminates with their release into native ecosystems, extending the artwork into an act of regeneration. Through painting, installation, and public work, the practice explores metamorphosis as both biological process and artistic method, connecting artistic production with ecological systems. VML operates as a performative ecology—part laboratory, part habitat—proposing new relationships between art, conservation, and the living world.

“A butterfly painting machine with butterflies as its exhaust.”

On April 23rd, join 21c Bentonville for a screening of the film, Drowned Land, followed by a Q&A with Director Colleen Thurston. Tickets are free through the link in our bio.

Flowing through southeastern Oklahoma, the Kiamichi River is a cradle of biodiversity and cultural memory. Already twice dammed, it now faces another threat: a proposed hydropower project that could drain its watershed. For local residents and Indigenous culture-keepers of the Choctaw Nation, protecting the river is part of resisting a long history of land loss and forced displacement dating back to the Trail of Tears.

Told with the river as its central character, the story traces its seasonal vitality, the injury from dams, and efforts to reclaim ecological balance. Woven throughout is the filmmaker’s own family story - she reflects on her grandfather’s work on the Army Corps of Engineers dams and her tribe’s ongoing struggle against resource exploitation, seeking reconciliation between past and present.

The deinstallation will last throughout the day, so come say farewell with us!
