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 True Gospel Wright Singers are a family group that started performing together in 1981. Their formation as a group came about as a result of their parents listening to what they thought was a recording playing on the radio only to find out it was their children. The children had paid close attention to their father’s group The Golden Aires, and finding that out, the parents, Jr. and Elaine Wright, looked at each other and knew that it was time to bring in drums, guitars, and microphones to form what is now known as The True Gospel Wright Singers. The family has traveled across the country, signing to crowds in the thousands, and becoming one of the most sought after Gospel groups today. They won honors as New Artists of the Year and Mixed Group of the Year from the American Gospel Quartet Convention in 2009, been given the Excellissa Award, and have appeared on “Bobby Jones Gospel,” “ Its Music,” and many more. The True Gospel Wright Singers have also appeared with the well-known performers Willie Neal Johnson and the Keynotes, Doc Mackenzie and the Highlights, and Lee Williams and The Spiritual QCs They have recorded 3 albums, with a new single release called “I Want to See Jesus.”
