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.

Let "The Mömandpöp Comeback Special" be part of your next event for families, be it an outdoor festival, a fundraiser, or a special community event. Created by songwriting team Bobby Matthews and Virginia Ralph, and featuring songs from their newly released album on Max Recordings entitled "mömandpöp, the live show features colorful characters, fast costume changes, a couple of British puppets named "Mümandsön," loads of audience participation, and catchy pop songs you'll be singing long after the show is over. "Mömandpöp" shows are all about joy--parents and kids enjoying music together, getting to their feet, and having a blast.

Teachers: Songs from "The Mömandpöp Comeback Special" were created especially for students in pre-primary and early elementary grades, with songs about the days of the week, colors of the rainbow, following directions, and taking care of one another. The music is currently being used as part of the Eureka Springs Elementary School's music education curriculum. Study guide and free download of the "mömandpöp" album are available upon request.

“[M]ömandpöp” isn't "kid rock." The band's "Comeback Special" may be aimed at the shorter short people in our lives — and younger kids really do love it — but the musical variety show quickly transcends. Husband and wife duo Bobby and Virginia Matthews are terrific writers with a knack for improv and a gift for crafting infectious pop ditties so full of love and life they defy easy categorization.”--Chris Davis, Memphis Flyer

“It was funny. I felt like my head was going to explode it was so good,"—Dillania Jackson, Third-grader, Eureka Elementary School
