Make work in NWA and odds are CACHE is funding or housing it, usually without the byline. CACHE runs the Creative Exchange Fund out of The Medium, its Springdale hub at 214 S. Main St., handing working artists and cultural organizers the three things a practice actually runs on: time, space, and money. The 2025/26 cohort put nearly $150,000 into 37 recipients, who develop and show the work in the same building. CACHE also keeps the region-wide Arkansas Creative Calendar and a directory of the whole cultural sector, so the scene it funds is also the scene it maps.
