Thanks to the leadership of Senator Joyce Elliott and Representative Les Warren, SB531 passed through the state legislature and was signed into law by Governor Hutchinson on April 7, 2021 becoming Act 577.
The creative economy will thrive at the intersection of art and technology and Act 577 created the Arkansas Legislative Art and Technology Boot Camp which is an exploration of who is currently working in the disciplines of art and technology. It is also a road map for how to get to the future.
