Changing how we see the Americas. As our regional community becomes nationally recognized as a leading center for the study, exhibition, and creation of important works of fine art, the press seeks to contribute to the naissance with growing publication programs focusing on architecture and the art of the Americas. Through productive partnerships with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design, and the growing School of Art at the University of Arkansas, we’ve added new, ambitious volumes to our existing list of titles in this subject area, where we hope to continue developing a strong discipline with a far-reaching voice.
