Return of Artosphere and Broadway are Reasons to Celebrate Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville is pleased to announce the return of the annual Artosphere Festival in May and the kickoff of the 2021–22 P&G Broadway Series later this fall. Artosphere: Arkansas’ Arts + Nature Festival will return on May 6–23 with a mix of free and ticketed performances across Northwest Arkansas. This year’s festival will include the Trail Mix and Off the Grid series, and a new outdoor theater experience performed in three different cities. The award-winning Dover Quartet will return to the Walton Arts Center stage at 7 p.m. on May 18 in a performance broadcast live on KUAF 91.3 FM. The festival also features the first public screening of Dover Quartet’s new documentary, Strings Attached, on May 19. Other ticketed performances include Jayme Stone on May 20 and Art Heist, a new interactive theater piece. An outdoor true-crime experience, Art Heist is based on the non-fiction story of the world’s single-largest property theft 30 years ago from the Isabella Gardner Museum in Boston. The 90-minute performance lets the audience gather clues, meet characters and try to
crack the realworld case. Art Heist will be performed in Fayetteville on May 6–9, in Rogers on May 13–16, and in Bentonville on May 20–23. For an Artosphere schedule, more information, and to buy or reserve tickets, please visit artospherefestival.org.
