— Curation

Our Natural State – July-August, 2018.

Chuck Davis is an independent curator with a gallery and museum orchestration spanning more than five years.

His first major curation was at the Art Center of the Ozarks (ACO), in Springdale Arkansas. The exhibit, Our Natural State, included 18 nationally and internationally known artists such as Mike Disfarmer, Jim Dow, Rebecca Drolen, Ron Evans, Matthew Genitempo, and Alec Soth. Today the ACO is rebranded as the Medium – an exhibit and performance space activated by Creative Arkansas Community Hub & Exchange (Cache).

Eureka Springs, Arkansas is a favorite destination of mine due to its diverse community and rich history of natural springs. In 2026, I was in there in residency at Dairy Hollow Artist Colony for ten days.
