Our Story

Since 1986, FOA has been the premiere arts organization in Northeast Arkansas, serving as a cultural hub for live performances and arts education. From our beginnings as an alliance of three organizations, we’ve grown into a key institution that provides valuable arts opportunities for the Northeast AR region.
