The Fine Arts Work Center (FAWC) in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and the Walker Youngbird Foundation will jointly launch a new residency program for Native artists beginning next spring. Called the Walker Youngbird Native Artist Residency, the initiative will bring a Native artist to FAWC for four weeks (May 23–June 19). The Walker Youngbird Foundation will provide $10,000 for the inaugural year, $2,500 of which will go to the artist as a stipend. The chosen artist will also receive a private apartment and a 400-square-foot studio during their stay, as well as access to FAWC’s broader creative community and a closing public program.

In advance of its first-ever regular season game in Paris on Sunday, the National Football League announced NFL Color Field—“a new platform that brings football and visual arts together through large-scale installations, original programming and immersive cultural experiences,” as a press release describes it. Over the coming weekend, a painting by Jammie Holmes will figure in hand-painted end zones created for a flag-football field that will be set up beneath the Eiffel Tower as part of an NFL Experience Paris installation. A Louisiana native and recent fellow at Paris’s Académie des beaux-arts and Cité internationale des arts, Holmes is a fan of the New Orleans Saints, who will play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the City of Light.

The exhibition shapes a fashion canon based less on historical relevance than on the interests of those in charge.

Anyone who has driven Interstate 25 between Denver and Colorado Springs knows that traffic can get… hairy. And it’s not just drivers whose safety is at risk, as animals like elk, bears, coyotes, and more also need to use the highway to access 39,000 acres of habitat. Cars and pronghorns just aren’t compatible. That’s why Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) set out to build a wildlife-only bridge, the largest of its kind currently in North America, which it completed in December 2025. Within the first nine months since its opening, wildlife-vehicle collisions were already down a whopping 91 percent. Before the crossing opened, dozens of animals were killed by vehicles every year, often up to one per day during migration seasons. The overpass spans I-25’s six lanes and is completely covered in grass so that critters have uninterrupted access to habitat on both sides of the highway—and drivers face less risk and expense due to collisions. The project is one of several in progress across the U. S., including a handful more in Colorado that include underpasses and smaller bridges.
