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.

Zirconium: Jim, Jim, Matthew, and Mark would really enjoy singing for you, and you are sure to come away from a performance humming a tune with a big smile on your face. The award-winning Zirconium Quartet is a vocal male quartet whose programs are tailored to the needs of the presenters. Together since 2001, their repertoire ranges from doo-wop, swing, patriotic, barbershop, gospel, to just a wee touch of country. Music and entertainment are their forte. With their smooth blend of a capella music, these four fun-loving guys perform for small groups, as well as for large stage or stadium audiences. Zirconium Quartet has performed at Silver Dollar City, on board the Arkansas Queen Riverboat, and all around Arkansas. Their smooth sound and audience interaction is well-received by public school students and octogenarians alike. Shows may last from 20 minutes to an hour or more depending on venue and the presenter’s needs.

Requirements

For small groups Zirconium can perform with no microphone required.  For larger stage performances, a minimum of one to two micropones is required depending on the venue.  Contact group for specific requirements.
