A little more than a year ago, the Eureka Springs School of the Arts launched a capital campaign to raise $850,000 for the purchase of property adjacent to the school’s existing campus, located five miles west of Eureka Springs. The expansion will allow ESSA to create a new, safer entrance and improved signage, while also providing flat land for future growth — including additional teaching studios, artist- in-residence spaces, community gathering areas and more.

■ How long have you been a resident of Eureka Springs? Two and a half years.
