“Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.” ~John Lubbock (1834-1913), “The Pleasures of Life”

I am excited about the continued growth of the Arts Community in NW Arkansas, particularly in downtown Rogers. We just experienced a wonderful reception to artists at the third annual heart of Rogers craft fair and now we are creating a new art walk on the second Thursday of every month! Thank you to the artists and those who support them!
