Looking Back

With the Clinton Presidential Center marking its 20th anniversary this fall, we took a trip down memory lane to reminisce about the grand opening — Bono, ponchos and all.

 

Fabulous Finds

“Prop hunting at Fabulous Finds is always a bit like a treasure hunt,” says art director ​​Emma Devine. “We often find so many good options that we have a hard time narrowing it down.”

Such was the case with our Monster Bash cocktail set pieces. In the end, a pair of coupe glasses won out with their orange hue and pumpkin-esque bases.

New Digs

One of our biggest treats this issue was getting to scope out the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra’s brand new Stella Boyle Smith Music Center before it opened to the public.
“The new ASO center is a masterpiece,” stylist Josie Burnett says. “It has everything they need and then some. Once you walk in, it feels even more expansive and upscale. The musicians, students, staff and whole community really needed this space.”

Standout Quote

“The earlier a child is exposed to quality resources like these, inviting them to ask
the ‘how’ and ‘why’ about the world around us, the better.”
