Walton Arts Center
Arkansas’ largest venue for performing and visual arts and entertainment, the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville draws more than 150,000 people annually to its Broadway musicals, dance performances, comedy shows and theater stage productions.
The arts center is located in the heart of the Dickson Street entertainment district. Restaurants, bars, music venues, a blues club, rooftop wine bars and more line the streets. It’s popular to take advantage of the offerings before and after a Walton Arts Center show for a fabulous night out on the town.
Additionally, the center owns The Arkansas Music Pavilion located at the Northwest Arkansas Mall and is renovating it for a permanent outdoor concert venue, a project that will transform the concert and entertainment scene. WAC is also pursuing an expansion of a 600-seat performance hall near its current campus and a 2,200-seat theater to be built in or near downtown Bentonville.
