About Southwest Arkansas Arts Council
The Southwest Arkansas Arts Council (SWAAC) has been a staple in southwest Arkansas for over 30 years. The Arts Council was formally founded in 1986 and has operated as one of Hempstead County and the surrounding area’s primary sources for cultural enhancement. SWAAC sponsors a wide variety of educational opportunities, cultural experiences, and as a source of artistic expression for local artists. Those years of purposeful service have established the Arts Council as a primary source for multidisciplinary cultural programming, professional performances, art-in-education classroom enhancements, gallery exhibits, after-school programming, public art projects and participation in community celebrations, causes, and partnering organizations.
Over the coming years, SWAAC is committed to raising the quality of public art throughout Southwest Arkansas. During the planning phase, we would love to hear from you! Please take a moment to submit any ideas you may have for the ongoing project.
Join the Southwest Arkansas Arts Council for fun and engaging events for all ages throughout the year!
