The Art of Resilience
The ANA Gallery was located at the Rogers Experimental House at the corner of 2nd and Walnut for 3.5 years until it closed as a result of the May storm that hit Rogers. Determined to continue ANA programs and art shows until a new home was found, ANA received help and support from other organizations throughout the area. The Arkansas Arts Academy in Rogers and the Springdale Senior Center hosted several educational events and monthly programs. Life Styes at the Blair Center for the Arts in Springdale reached out to ANA and offered to host the September Membership Show. Then The Medium in Springdale offered to help as well. ANA closed out 2024 at The Medium with its December Membership Show and the 6x6 Silent Auction, which raises money for educational programs and events.
Exciting New Space
The new 3,500-square-foot building features both a gallery and a studio space designed to foster creativity and education. With this new facility, they are expanding their educational programs and community events. The ANA members and board of directors are thrilled to have a dedicated space to host activities such as:
- Art Exhibits
- Artists Receptions
- Artist Presentations
- Workshops
- Social Paint Nights
And much more!
