It’s been real on The Line, and now our time is counting down. Don’t worry! You still have time to visit until June 20th during Juneteenth celebrations!
Check out these upcoming events as well and come see history in action!

Starting Monday, the countdown begins.

After an unforgettable season on Historic West 9th Street, studioMAIN's Beyond the Divide project will officially come to a close on Saturday, June 20 — Juneteenth.

It is bittersweet to say that. But we are not finished yet! The revitalization will continue in many ways, long after we are done!

We have an incredible final calendar of events planned throughout June, and we need your help making these last few weeks our biggest yet. Bring your family. Invite your friends. Support a local business. Attend an event. Share this post. Help us fill West 9th Street with life, energy, and community one more time.

In just a few months, Beyond the Divide has:

1. Brought new attention and activity to Historic West 9th Street through Downtown Little Rock’s first pop-up Black business district
2. Created new opportunities for local entrepreneurs, artists, performers, and community leaders
3. Introduced public art and storytelling that celebrate the history and legacy of West 9th Street
4. Shown what is possible when people come together with creativity, dedication, and a belief that meaningful change does not always have to take years to begin

We sincerely wish Beyond the Divide could continue...With more time, support, and resources, we believe this could grow into a one-of-a-kind Little Rock experience: a permanent platform for small businesses, art, culture, history, and community connection.

So during these final weeks, let’s show City of Little Rock, AR what this place can become and why projects like this are needed!

📅 Save our June calendar.
📣 Share this post.
🖤 Come support the businesses and events.
💬 Tell us in the comments: Why you think Beyond the Divide should return in a bigger, better, and bolder way?

Every visit, share, comment, and purchase helps demonstrate why projects like this matter — and why West 9th Street deserves continued investment.

Thank you to every partner, supporter, business owner, artist, volunteer, and community member who helped bring this vision to life.

Now available at KrystalBijoux.com! Betty Boop’s roots lie in the Black performer, . As a lifelong fan, this was earth shattering to me when I learned this later in life. I had many Black Betty Boop t-shirts my mom made for me in the 90s. Many congrats to for getting to play her in an upcoming film. I’ll be wearing a pair of these when I see it 💖Honoring all of the Black women, femmes, and thems who they tried to push to the side of history.
