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.

“Stories are our primary tools of learning and teaching...They bring order into our confusing world” (Edward Miller). 

At Trike Theatre, Northwest Arkansas' professional theatre for youth, we are storytellers devoted to opening a world of learning and understanding for young audiences through creativity and play. Our mission is to cultivate creativity, build character, and strengthen communities. Our vision is to transform the lives of young people through exceptional theatre experiences. 

Using work conceived and created by world-class artists, professional playwrights and engaging actors, we create an immersive theater experience where the audience becomes part of the storytelling. Trike’s shows incorporate creativity, literacy, and social and emotional learning into the dramatic experience and invite the audience to participate in playful storytelling and engage with the performers. 

Our productions travel throughout the state, performing in theaters, libraries, schools, and even outdoors with our new mobile stage. We also have virtual program options that allow us to bring the program to students anywhere.  

Bring a Trike Theatre production to your school or organization by booking your indoor, outdoor, or virtual performance with us. We will bring the show right to you! 

Supplemental educational resources and workshops are also available through our full 360 Trikesperience that brings hands-on materials to participants to further explore and recreate our stories.
