Support / Why Give?

Imagine a community where everyone has access to the arts . . . 

Walton Arts Center presents world-class artists from around the world, creates award-winning arts education programs and makes Northwest Arkansas more fun and culturally vibrant. We connect and engage the community through inspiring and diverse arts experiences.

Since opening in 1992, almost two million people have come through the doors of Walton Arts Center.  Each year we serve more than 37,000 students and teachers through low or no cost arts education programs, and we give thousands of tickets to local non-profits and social service agencies through our Take A Seat program.  We also offer many subsidized ticket programs, like our 10x10 Arts Series and our long list of student discounts.  

The only way we can continue to make life sweet in Northwest Arkansas is with the financial support of our community. We hope you'll join the more than 1,000 other individuals, families and businesses who have chosen to support the arts and Walton Arts Center.
