Free-to-visit galleries and year-round programming—Fourth Friday art nights, artist residencies, and the International Folk Festival. The Arts Center’s 2025 calendar underscores its role as the heartbeat of downtown’s creative community.
Excellent plan to relax, appreciate art, be curious, and support artists. You can go with family, friends, your couple, and it's free! Art always fills the heart.

Wow! We enjoyed our visit here! Learning about local Native Americans in this area. Reading about their stories and trying to preserve their customs. The exhibits change periodically. So we'll definitely be sure to continue visiting when the exhibits change!

I have visited quite a few events here. It is always well prepared and organized. It offers a huge variety of art and opportunities. If you are an artist, check out their grants! They have a lot of money for you!

We visited on a weekday. There is paid parking on the street. Right now there is a display of art by locals. Lots of paintings and a few other mediums. My favorite piece was a wing made out of plastic knives and painted red/white/blue. The staff were very inviting and kind.

Very nice place. I went to go see the monthly poetry slam that they home at night. It was an amazing and entertaining show. Awesome environment with a great staff and is easy to find.

Excellent use of a historic building right in the middle of downtown. Sometimes they have receptions on Friday. Check their website.

How nice that Fayetteville has an Arts Council which really supports local artists and provides them a regular place to show their work and even sell it.
I stopped by today to view the Public Works display and vote for the top three viewer's choice.
I saw some really nice art in the building. It was displayed well.

Fayetteville keeps getting better and this year's International Folk Festival was evidence of that. Thanks to the Art Council! We had a wonderful time. Music, Sirius B and others, was great and Mystic India was spectacular. Will be going next year for sure!
