Our Facilities

The Foundation of Arts operates out of three prime locations in Jonesboro, each offering unique spaces for the community to experience and engage with the arts. Our venues—The Forum, Stage, Too, and The Arts Center—are designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and inspiration, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

The Forum Theater

The Forum Theater has been a cornerstone of live performance in Northeast Arkansas since 1926. Originally known as The Strand, this historic venue has been lovingly restored to provide an intimate, high-quality experience for our audiences. With its large main stage and beautiful architecture, The Forum is where we host our major theater productions, musical performances, and community events. The theater is home to thousands of artists who have graced its stage, continuing to build its legacy as a cultural hub in the heart of Jonesboro.

Stage, Too

Stage, Too offers a unique experience, combining entertainment and a cozy, relaxing atmosphere! This inviting space will host 2 intimate blackbox theater style productions this season, as well as Stage, Too Weekends featuring live music, karaoke, workshops, movies, to game nights, and everything in between!

The Arts Center

The Arts Center, located just around the corner from The Forum Theater on Main Street, is dedicated to the education and development of local artists. Offering year-round classes in visual arts, theater, and dance, The Arts Center is where creativity comes to life for students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, our center provides a supportive space for learning, growth, and artistic expression.
