Getting Creative: Downtown Rogers (DTR) is celebrating Artober during the month of October! All year long, numerous DTR businesses feature a range of artists, makers, and other talented creatives, providing interactive experiences for the community to enjoy. Every second Thursday Art on the Bricks Art Walk provides regional artists the opportunity to demonstrate or exhibit and sell their work in galleries and pop-up shops. 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.

Downtown Rogers is kicking off National Hispanic Heritage Month with enthusiasm. As the population in northwest Arkansas becomes more diverse, Art on the Bricks strives to represent all members of our community, along with their cultures and their art.

• National Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15 – October 15 and it is significant in Rogers. Fifty-one percent of the population in Rogers is non-white or people of color, and the largest segment of this group is made up of people of Hispanic descent.
• The September Art on the Bricks Art Walk provides an opportunity to connect with and learn about the culture, the art, the music and traditions of our Latino neighbors and friends.
