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.

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.

The Itinerant Locals continue to be Arkansas' most requested Tuba Accordion Duo. Their music ranges from traditional polkas to modern rock, with detours through classic country and original instrumentals. Based on quantum mechanics, their show explodes with unpredictable musical selections, delightful banter, and new feelings for polka you might not be used to. In words Mike Beebe might use, "The Itinerant Locals are visually stimulating, high energy, and easy to feed.” For more information go to polkayoureyeout.com
