The Forum
The Forum, originally opened in 1926 as The Strand Movie Theatre, is a cornerstone of the arts in Jonesboro. After being purchased by the City of Jonesboro in the 1970s, the building was carefully renovated to transform it into a modern performance venue. Since then, it has proudly served as the home of The Foundation of Arts (FOA), supporting a wide variety of live events and artistic performances.
Explore The Forum
Our venue is designed to foster a vibrant arts community, with a mix of classic and contemporary shows that appeal to diverse audiences. We invite you to explore our beautiful space, experience the rich history, and enjoy the exceptional performances it continues to host.
