We recently sat down with local artist Shay Holloway to talk about her work, her process, and what itâs been like creating inside the studios at Creative Spaces NWA on the Mountain.
These studio spaces arenât just rooms. Theyâre places to experiment, fail, rebuild, and make something honest.
Interested in becoming part of the creative community at Mount Sequoyah? Applications for the studio space wait list are open! Contact us in our bio!

Last nightâs turnout for Human Patterns was a beautiful reminder of what happens when art creates space for people to slow down, connect, and really see each other.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the artists, the conversations, and the community gathered inside Sequoyah Hall Gallery at Creative Spaces NWA on the Mountain. And a special thank you to the incredible artists whose work filled the room with story, color, and emotion.
Mount Sequoyah keeps becoming a place where creativity and community meet and weâre grateful to witness it.

Diana Michelleâs art lives somewhere between beauty and decay.
Forgotten objects. Fleeting color. Places and moments most people would walk past without noticing.
Her pieces in the new exhibition, "Human Patterns", feel dreamlike, emotional, and quietly haunting, inviting you to look closer at the patterns hidden beneath everyday life.
Experience her work at the Human Patterns opening reception May 15 at Sequoyah Hall Gallery on the mountain.
Free and open to the community.
May 15th at 6:00 pm!

75 handmade dishes.
75 unique pieces.
75 reminders that people matter. â¨
After taking classes through Creative Spaces NWA, Elizabeth Bertuca created handmade ring and trinket dishes for every woman in her church this Motherâs Day, inspired by the idea: More Precious Than Gold.
âI started in December 2025 with almost no experience. Over the last six months, Iâve built new skills, tried new techniques, and found a community that came into my life exactly when I needed it most.â
Thatâs the power of creative community. â¤ď¸

This wall hanging already has me laughing.
Itâs SO goofy.
Sometimes I donât see air holesďżź and when I Paiper MächĂŠ over the mesh I use under- it allows air to escape and if it does that during the drying process, then some of the facial features will move.
This guyâs nose and lips are hilarious.
Maybe I should start making something and seeing what it actually becomes lol đ¤ˇââď¸
Shoutout to @spinsterrecords Dallas. If yâall donât follow them you should! Coolest shop!
I need a new shirt lol!

Some of the first art we ever knew came from our mothers.
Hands guiding hands. Stories stitched into us. Beauty made from nothing but care, grit, and love.
Today we celebrate the women who create in every form â paintings, poems, gardens, homes, courage, second chances, and entire worlds for the people they love.
Happy Motherâs Day from Creative Spaces NWA. đ¨

To the seniors graduating across NWA, donât stop creating. đ¨đđď¸
The world needs builders, makers, storytellers, musicians, designers, dreamers, and people willing to see things differently. Whether art becomes your career or simply the thing that keeps your spirit alive, keep making space for it.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026 from Creative Spaces NWA at Mount Sequoyah Center.
