FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (UATV) – The Walton Arts Center’s annual Artosphere Festival returns to Northwest Arkansas.  

 The art and nature festival will run May 4-27 in multiple locations across the region. All aspects of the event are based on elements of the natural world and are meant to create a space for a discussion on the issues of sustainability and environmental awareness in the NWA community.    

This year’s edition of the event will feature the full Artosphere Festival Orchestra for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. A series of concerts will also take place along the Razorback Greenway on May 6.  

The Walton Arts Center will display a visual art show curated by Fayetteville native Kathy Thompson as well as numerous indie films throughout the month.  

The festival kicks off in the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks with a free performance by the local duo Trout Fishing in America.
