#ShopNWA Resources
The Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce encourages you to #ShopNWA and support local.
According to a recent Civic Economics Study, over two-thirds of the money spent at locally owned businesses stay in the community and other studies have shown that local businesses donate at a higher rate to local causes and nonprofits.
Local businesses create jobs in our community. Locally owned businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for the unique needs of their community. Rogers and Lowell are constantly growing, with new shops, boutiques, and specialty stores opening across the region.
Help us support these businesses by shopping in person, on their websites, and spreading the word about your favorite places to shop in Northwest Arkansas.

The Art of Shopping Local | Art on the Bricks Art Walk December 9, 2021
Join the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce December 9 for a special showcase of art, crafts and music by regional artists and local businesses in Downtown Rogers. As our community returns to live and in person events, the opportunity to help revive the creative economy is made possible through events like Art on the Bricks Art Walk.
We invite you to support local businesses that sell locally produced art and crafts all year long, but this is especially important during the holiday shopping season. When you Shop NWA, your purchases bring a significant amount of revenue to our community. Your dollars spent with local businesses generate state and local tax revenue to fix roads, pay for parks, support schools, retain jobs, and so much more.
Creative Economy has Significant Impact Nationally
Prior to the pandemic, production of arts and cultural goods and services in the U.S. added 4.3 percent directly to the nation's GDP, for a total approaching a trillion dollars ($919.7 billion). According to a report by National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) this impact is greater than the value added by such industries as construction, transportation and warehousing, mining, and agriculture.
When locally owned businesses thrive, they create jobs, sponsor your child’s sports team, support local nonprofits, and invest back into their businesses and the community. Arts and culture are important to state and local economies. Arts and culture-related industries, also known as “creative industries,” provide direct economic benefits to states and communities: They enhance quality of life, create jobs, attract investments, generate tax revenues, and stimulate local economies through tourism and consumer purchases.
The art walk showcases regional artists, craftsmen, and musicians on the 2nd Thursday each month. This family friendly event provides pop-up exhibits and live music, for a unique Downtown Rogers shopping experience. Art on the Bricks is a perfect way for you to shop local and find unique Christmas gifts while supporting talented artists and local Downtown Rogers businesses.
