What visitors say
Great fun for the Ft Smith Fall Festival. Kids got goodie bags and did a scavenger hunt. The art was beautiful and some was touchable for the kids.
My kids and I go here every couple of months and it never disappoints. Lot of classes and activities.
Hands down the best art museum I’ve ever been to! Amazing art and nice calm atmosphere. Drove over an hour to see it and it was well worth the drive. I highly recommend seeing it if you have some free time in the area. I even bought…
