Executive Director Anne Jackson sees a trio of very specific niches for Arts One Presents. Born out of the legacy of Springdale’s Arts Center of the Ozarks, AOP’s “projects are the mechanisms we use to provide opportunities for local talent to be creative, mentor the next generation of theater community and production technicians, and provide high-quality theater experiences for audiences.”

“Through theater and visual arts, we create space for projects and ideas to come to life,” Jackson said. “For those who wish to work in more professional theater environments, our productions have been a stepping stone from community theater to professional theater opportunities. We strive for our projects to enrich the cultural fabric of Northwest Arkansas, bringing people together through the power of art.”
