Catch us at @kingfishbar for our Southern Fried Sunset Series. We plan to add fun stuff to each date. Maybe we’ll have cheap records for sale, maybe someone slinging food, maybe even some live domino games.

You’ll only know if you come!

Fourth Annual Exhibition Celebrating Northwest Arkansas Visual Artists

LOCATION: Joy Pratt Markham Gallery at Walton Arts Center
EXHIBITION DATES: Aug. 30-Oct. 27, noon-2pm (on weekdays)

Walton Arts Center will showcase the creative talents of Arkansas artists from communities across the region in the fourth annual exhibition of Our Art, Our Region, Our Time, on display in Joy Pratt Markham Gallery Friday, Aug. 30 through Sunday, Oct. 27. 

The Joy Pratt Markham Gallery also opens one hour prior to performances and during intermission of performances at Walton Arts Center.

The exhibition includes 106 pieces by 87 artists representing 20 cities and the diverse communities that make up our region.

For complete list of the artists and their hometowns, please see link above.

Each 3rd Friday of the month songwriters come together to share their music in a relaxed, nonjudgmental, fun, musical environment.
Everyone will have a chance to play at least a couple songs. This is a "jam" atmosphere where harmony and accompaniment may happen (when appropriate).
The objective is to have fun, enjoy each other's company & music, and perhaps learn from each other.

An art-infused series of Friday evening “compact creativity festivals” that will take place in the Lower Ramble. Kick off the weekend with a burst of creativity and fun! The WEST series is being held in conjunction with the University of Arkansas Department of Music.

Music performers will celebrate the musical diversity found at the university. Concerts will feature jazz trios, Brazilian and Afro-Cuban music, Ozark ballads, classical ensembles, rock songs, medieval music and more!

Attendees can expect a lively atmosphere where they can unwind after a busy work week, enjoy strolling through the beautiful natural area and engage with their local arts community.

Bring a picnic blanket or lawn chairs to enjoy the performances and stay awhile. Arriving via the Razorback Greenway is encouraged, but parking is available at the Fayetteville Public Library’s south surface parking lot, as well as on-street parking along West Ave.
