The arts are alive and the culture is vibrant in this thriving Arkansas region. Brimming with exclusive arts and entertainment venues and distinct historical sites and museums, northwest Arkansas is certainly not at a loss of prime artistic and cultural avenues.
The Walton Arts Center provides northwest Arkansas with a year-round schedule of the finest arts and entertainment. Recognized as a cultural gem in northwest Arkansas, the Center draws in a diverse array of acclaimed theater, concerts, dance troupes and exhibitions and also plays host to productions by the University of Arkansas, Theatre Squared and the North Arkansas Symphony. Art is also appreciated at the Arts Center of the Ozarks, Terra Studios, Opera in the Ozarks and the developing Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, which is slated to become a premier national art institution committed to American art upon its completion.

The essence of the Ozarks come to life through nine beautifully designed and well-maintained gardens, plus the modern Totemeir Horticulture Center. The Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks also offers plenty of educational opportunities through workshops, classes/programs and lectures.
If history is your thing, plan to visit the area’s array of museums, including: the Arkansas Air Museum, the Clinton House Museum, the Daisy Airgun Museum, the Ozarks Military Museum and the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History. There are also prominent national historic sites, which notably include the site of the Battle of Fayetteville and the Pea Ridge National Military Park.
