Our Mission is to sponsor, encourage, assist and promote enjoyment and understanding of the Visual Arts in Northwest Arkansas.
Celebrating the Art and Artists of Northwest Arkansas
Northwest Arkansas is rich in artistic talent and we’re proud to have so many amazing artists from diverse backgrounds and occupations from this area as part of the ANA community. We offer a welcoming and inclusive place for artists of all kinds to showcase their work, learn new skills, and be part of the growing art scene in Northwest Arkansas and the surrounding area.
We are proud to present our new face to Northwest Arkansas. We have a new home and we are finding more ways to participate in the arts in the area. Watch for new events and opportunities coming up in the months ahead.

ANA Has A New Home
The Artists of Northwest Arkansas is proud to announce we have a new home in downtown Rogers. We have secured a building that will be the home of the ANA Gallery and Studio, located at 300 N. 2nd Street, just 2 blocks from our original gallery in the RXH at Walnut and 2nd Street. This is a 3,500 square foot building with a separate gallery and studio for educational use. We are excited about the opportunity to expand our educational programs and events. The ANA Gallery will be open for Art on the Bricks on January 9th, 2025. Both the January Artists Presentation and Social Paint Nights will be held in the studio starting in January. We are looking forward to an exciting new start in our own facility in 2025.
See how you can get involved. Please volunteer to work on committees and programs at ANA.
