Arts On Tour

The Arts on Tour roster lists a broad spectrum of Arkansas’s finest solo and ensemble performers, individual visual artists and prepared art exhibitions ready for touring within Arkansas. The online AOT listing facilitates the booking process for arts organizations, festival and event planners, schools, civic organizations and government entities interested in contracting with the artists.

The AOT program is designed to reimburse presenters who showcase Arkansas artists listed on the roster. When an AOT artist negotiates a contract with the presenter, the Arkansas Arts Council typically will subsidize 40 percent of the cost of the event as long as funds are available.

New AOT artists are selected each year through a panel process.

“I seek out the light in every aspect of my life. I search for that sliver of illumination in the midst of darkness. My paintings all start on a black canvas just as each day’s journey starts by acknowledging my own inner shadows. It is only from having experienced a place of darkness that one can truly appreciate the spark of life. This ever present need for light, manifests as a longing for connection. Connection with my fellow man, to the life force within myself, between the heat of my heart with another… But it is through this longing to not just connect, but to become truly lost within the Light and Heat of the Divine, that I paint.
