Representing Our Community on Our Stages

LADAMA

It’s important for people from all backgrounds to see performers who look like them on stage when they come to Walton Arts Center. It is equally important for all of us to be introduced to new cultures, art forms and experiences from different cultures than our own.

These are the driving forces behind Walton Arts Center’s Mosaix initiative. Originally launched as Mosaix Festival, the inaugural event was scheduled for April 2020. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen as planned due to COVID-19.

Walton Arts Center has now transitioned Mosaix from a stand-alone festival to a programming initiative that runs throughout its season.

“We all acknowledge the importance of featuring the cultural ‘tiles’ of Northwest Arkansas through the work on our stages,” said Jennifer Ross, vice president of programming. “Noting this work as part of the Mosaix initiative allows our audiences to better explore different cultures and learn more about our diverse region. We will continue working with local cultural organizations to help guide our work in this area.”
