Working Hand in Hand
Connecting Creators
Bringing together artists, arts organizations, and supporters to collaborate, share ideas, and strengthen the local arts community through exhibitions, events, and creative partnerships.
Celebrating and Empowering
Creating meaningful opportunities for artists at every stage—where emerging talents find their voice and seasoned artists reignite their passion through exposure, collaboration, and continued growth.
Inspiring Community Through the Arts
Inviting neighbors to engage with the arts through memorable cultural experiences—while encouraging active support for the creative spirit that shapes our region.
Connecting Creators
Since 1997, Ozark Regional Arts Council has united artists, organizations, and patrons to strengthen and grow the arts in our region.
Our collaboration with Arkansas State University–Mountain Home (ASUMH) provides a central hub for this work.
At The Sheid, we host monthly art exhibits, community events, and regular meetings in dedicated gallery and conference spaces—making the arts accessible and visible to all.
Through these efforts, we create space for creative exchange, collaboration, and celebration.
Celebrating and Empowering
Ozark Regional Arts Council supports artists through more than just exhibits—we create pathways for connection, learning, and lasting impact. Through workshops, mentoring, and professional development, we help artists grow in both skill and confidence.
Our collaboration with White River Artists, a sister organization, exemplifies this mission. Their plein air Paint-Outs, annual shows, and regional contests highlight and uplift talent from across the Ozarks and beyond.
We believe every artist—emerging or experienced—deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated.
Inspiring Community Though the Arts
At Ozark Regional Arts Council, we believe the arts connect, uplift, and enrich our community.
Through performances, exhibitions, and educational programs, we invite the public to experience the creative spirit that makes the Ozarks unique.
These experiences are possible thanks to generous donors, passionate volunteers, and community advocates.
Whether you lend your time, give financially, or simply attend and share, your support ensures the arts continue to thrive.
