The 2026 North Louisiana Arts Interchange is underway and this year we have a great cohort of artists from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas!

Meet Paul Wolfe

Through his work, Wolfe invites viewers into a space of reflection, questioning how we define value in ourselves and in others. By sharing his own explorations and uncertainties, he encourages meaningful conversations about self-worth, identity, and the ways we measure our place in the world. Wolfe’s artistic practice challenges the idea that worth must be earned or proven, instead asking whether value can simply exist on its own.
Paul Wolfe is one of the 9 participants in the 2026 North Louisiana Arts Interchange. This program is a collaborative initiative designed to foster focused artistic exploration through online huddles, weekly exercises, and small scale making. Each artist is encouraged to engage in playful experimentation within a directed collaboration to ultimately produce a finished work for exhibition at the end of the summer.

Meet Trinity Conant!

Through her portrait work, Conant explores themes of childhood, spirituality, identity, duality, and gender euphoria. Her artwork invites viewers into deeply personal and meaningful spaces, encouraging reflection on the many layers that shape who we are. Using vibrant color palettes, rich textures, symbolic imagery, and dramatic lighting, Conant creates portraits that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant. Each piece serves as an exploration of the inner self and the stories we carry within us.

Meet Fable Hyde!

For Hyde, art is about more than the finished piece, it’s about meaning, connection, and the conversations that emerge along the way. Their creative practice explores what art can reveal to both the maker and the viewer, creating space for reflection, curiosity, and dialogue. Using art as a tool for self-discovery, Hyde embraces the creative process as an opportunity to uncover new perspectives and learn more about themselves.
