 Arkansas has a proud heritage that has been passed down from one generation to the next since the origin of statehood. Much of that heritage has been passed to us through the performing arts. Arkansas's history makes for a fascinating story. And our performing arts have provided an educational and entertaining way to allow that story to unfold. Arkansas's heritage comes to life through the sound of a stringed instrument, the tap of a dance shoe and the performance of an actor on stage. What better way to preserve Arkansas's heritage than through the talents of her people.
