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 Dizzy 7 plays music that ranges from Motown to Big Band, Latin to Dixieland. Playing in its current lineup since 2008, the group features the versatile Craig Wilson on vocals, backed by a three-man horn section and a full rhythm section. The ensemble of the Dizzy 7 is composed of accomplished musicians who love what they do: two members are music teachers, some play regularly in various church ensembles, one has been musical director of several local theater productions, and one has performed on cruise ships for the better part of two years. With a repertoire of over 125 tunes to select from, the Dizzy 7 programs music that just sounds good, no matter what the style.
