The RedBall Project

CACHE announces the Northwest Arkansas tour of the RedBall Project by American artist Kurt Perschke.

Considered the longest-running street art work, the RedBall Project is a 250-pound, 15-foot inflatable mobile sculpture work and event. Each day, the ball is wedged into a new pedestrian space or architectural feature.

“Through the RedBall Project, I utilize my opportunity as an artist to be a catalyst for new encounters within the everyday,” said Kurt Perschke. “Through the magnetic, playful, and charismatic nature of the RedBall, the work is able to access the imagination embedded in all of us.”

Between September 11 and 15, 2024, the red ball will travel across Northwest Arkansas, spending one full day in Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Siloam Springs.

Find the Redball in Fayetteville at Artcourt on Dickson St. on September 13th from 11am-6pm. 

“As a process, I go to each city and literally walk and bike the streets looking. I carry a camera, a sketchbook, and a laser meter and go exploring a city, getting very lost, over and over,” said Perschke. “What I am looking for is a collection of sites that together might make a great project. Some sites offer architectural excitement or history, others are at a nexus of pedestrian energy. I am always hunting for great sun and the chance for surprise.”
