Getting Creative: Downtown Rogers (DTR) is celebrating Artober during the month of October!

From 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. October 12, more than a dozen Downtown Rogers business host guest artists or feature locally made products or offer other fun opportunities to enjoy the DTR creative economy.

Enter our third space: Whether you are perking up or winding down, we hope your FAVORITE places to hang out and have fun are found on or near the bricks of Downtown Rogers!

• Third spaces: this concept divides life into three primary places where we invest time: the first space is your home, the second space is your work, and the third space is where you connect with your community and feel at home.
• Examples of third spaces include: restaurants, pubs, libraries, galleries, bookstores, churches, parks and more! For many of us, there are numerous DTR locations that serve as our third space.

• October is recognized as National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM), a coast-to-coast collective celebration of culture in America.
• Each year since 1993, NAHM has helped give millions of Americans the opportunity to explore new facets of the arts and humanities in their lives and has encouraged them to begin a lifelong habit of active participation.
