Arts On Tour

The Arts on Tour roster lists a broad spectrum of Arkansas’s finest solo and ensemble performers, individual visual artists and prepared art exhibitions ready for touring within Arkansas. The online AOT listing facilitates the booking process for arts organizations, festival and event planners, schools, civic organizations and government entities interested in contracting with the artists.

The AOT program is designed to reimburse presenters who showcase Arkansas artists listed on the roster. When an AOT artist negotiates a contract with the presenter, the Arkansas Arts Council typically will subsidize 40 percent of the cost of the event as long as funds are available.

New AOT artists are selected each year through a panel process. 

The Arts On Tour Artist Roster opens fall 2026.

 

To be eligible for the Arts on Tour Program, a performing or visual artist must: 

  • Maintain a primary residency in Arkansas, or must have an Arkansas based contact.
  • Have presented concerts, exhibitions, programs or lecture-demonstrations in locations away from their home location at least twice in the previous year. Exhibitions must have been presented in a formal gallery space.

The Arkansas Arts Council reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of the scope or nature of the presentation proposed by a selected Arts on Tour artist and retains the right to determine the suitability of an AOT artist to remain on the roster once they have been selected.

Arts on Tour Artist Roster application forms should be submitted online by completing the form linked below. You will receive an email confirmation when we have received your online submission.

Music has never sounded as sweet as the sultry, Soulful sounds of CandySoul. Not only is she a vocalist with perfect pitch, CandySoul also excels as a comedic actress, songwriter, and music producer. Making a name for herself for over 15 years, this natural born entertainer grew up in North Little Rock before she pursued her dreams in musical cities such as Memphis and Atlanta. While in high school, her music teacher discovered she had “Perfect Pitch,” and her mentors seriously encouraged her to pursue a career in music. In College she sharpened her skills with music business, music technology, acting and vocal performance. After graduating, CandySoul went on to achieve Hollywood success on American Idol and in numerous other television series. Twelve-time Grammy award winner Manuel Seal says “CandySoul has an AMAZING ear!” and B.E.T.’s Vickie Johnson says that “CandySoul has the IT factor!” This triple-threat singer/songwriter/music producer is a true professional and a breath of fresh air. CandySoul has recently starred in Little Rock as Effie in Dreamgirls at the Studio Theatre and as Evilene in The Wiz at Weekend Theatre.
