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.

Suzanne Michell and Uncle Fred Wilson have both been singer/songwriters since before there was the name “singer/songwriter.” Suzanne began performing as a child. After graduating from the Arkansas School for the Blind she studied music at UALR and was the first visually impaired student to earn a degree in music. Well-known for her rich contralto voice and guitar and piano skills, Suzanne understands the challenges performers face with disabilities, as she teach students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Uncle Fred Wilson has been a songwriter and author by avocation for the last 50 years. He is a retired microbiologist and a published novelist. Together they perform original songs and traditional music that is familiar to the audience.
