Fine art in Arkansas
The Arkansas Arts Center is a one-stop shop for the culturally-inclined: there is, of course, a great art museum (the best in Arkansas), a children's theater, a cafe, and classrooms for painting, sculpture, and ceramics classes. Let's start from the top. The museum has a pretty great collection of artists like Picasso, Rembrandt, and Degas as well as a smattering of local and contemporary artists. They also hold regular traveling and temporary exhibits featuring major international artists or local up-and-comers.
If you're traveling with kids, make sure to stop in the Children's Theater.
