Main St., on the Chandler building, will be dedicated and 28 new panels will go up at the ARTERY’s public art display at One North Main parking lot downtown. Water is the theme for this year’s group of panels — which are 4-by-8-feet tall — and participating artists include John Deering of Little Rock, Susan Morrison and Mary Springer of Eureka Springs and others.
