WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS FESTIVAL
Artosphere: Arkansas' Arts and Nature Festival is a major regional arts initiative which celebrates artists influenced by nature who inspire us to live more sustainably. Featuring performing and visual arts, education, community outreach and elements of sustainability, Artosphere provides access to high-quality artistic experiences for all.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
The esteemed Artosphere Festival Orchestra (AFO) returns to Northwest Arkansas in June to delight audiences as the musical centerpiece of the 9th Annual Artosphere: Arkansas' Arts + Nature Festival. Presented by Walton Arts Center and featuring both performing and visual arts, the festival celebrates the intersection of art, music and nature with events across the region. Under the baton of internationally acclaimed Maestro Corrado Rovaris and with more than 90 premier musicians from distinguished symphonies and music programs across the globe, AFO performances are held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville and Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville. This year's Chapel Music Series offers chamber music in local chapels and architectural marvels with groups such as the acclaimed Dover Quartet, the Zorá String Quartet, as well as violist Roberto Díaz, among others. And the annual Artosphere Trail Mix weekend enables audiences to hike or bike between stages while enjoying art and entertainment at stops along the way. Visit website for full event listing.
