“The Story Project’’ is a testament to AMFA’s dedication to fostering community engagement and celebrating the power of storytelling in conjunction with the beauty of fine art.

The Webby Awards are considered “The Internet’s highest honor.”

“It’s always exciting to work with Few on projects, but this one in particular is very special to us,” shared Malina Tabor, AMFA’s Director of Marketing and External Affairs. “‘The Story Project’ was born out of a desire to foster connection in our community, so we are thrilled to see it earn this level of national recognition.”

“It’s a huge honor to be recognized for the engaging digital experience our team created for the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts,” said Arlton Lowry, Partner at Few. “Going up against 13,000 submissions from talent around the world is no easy task, but our team was able to rise to the occasion.
