Celebrating the Art and Artists of Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas is rich in artistic talent and we’re proud to have so many amazing artists from diverse backgrounds and occupations from this area as part of the ANA community. We offer a welcoming and inclusive place for artists of all kinds to showcase their work, learn new skills, and be part of the growing art scene in Northwest Arkansas and the surrounding area.

We are proud to present our new face to Northwest Arkansas. We have a new home and we are finding more ways to participate in the arts in the area. Watch for new events and opportunities coming up in the months ahead.

Looking Back at 2025

The ANA has had an amazing year in 2025. After losing our original location in the middle of the previous year to the tornado that hit Rogers, we were able to relocate to 300 N. 2nd Street and build a new home. Our thanks go to Jim Mangold for providing us the opportunity to get back on our feet and get up and running again. There was cleaning, painting, and plenty of work to be done and we opened our doors in January 2025.

• In April we had the Grand Opening of the ANA Gallery and the place was packed. The whole region came out to celebrate the return of gallery.
• Christmas in July packed the ANA Studio and everyone had a great time celebrating our new summer tradition.
• We had workshops by Todd William, Kathleen Conover, and several wonderful workshops by Gary Johnson.
• Classes and Studio Classes have been added to the mix by Gerald “Scout” Hatley, John Lancaster and several of the ANA artists.
• Four month-long Membership Shows have been held throughout the entire building.
• 6 x 6 Silent Auction closed out our year with a bang raising over $4,000 for programs and events at ANA.
• We have received several very appreciated donations to ANA that will help us build our programs and classes.

So what does 2026 hold for ANA. Let’s just say you need to hold on tight and get ready for a great ride. We plan on holding a membership planning meeting in February, so watch the website and newsletter for more information. So come paint, get involved, help us grow, and enjoy ANA.
