The first Fine Arts Club of Arkansas was formed in 1914. The museum of Fine Arts was created in 1937 in Little Rock’s MacArthur Park, and the Arkansas Arts Center was founded in 1960. Although it took a few years, the Center today has a rich collection of art inspiring learning and creative expression. The collection is constantly updated and easily accessible to people from all ages and backgrounds. As you go through the Arts Center, keep in mind that Arkansans have their own sense for art and culture, and look for it.
