Welcome to Arts & The Park 2015!
The Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance is a non-profit organization composed
of Hot Springs area artists, gallery owners, arts organizations, and arts supporters all with an interest in seeing the Hot Springs arts community thrive and
grow. HSACA’s mission is to “Celebrate, Advocate, and Promote” the arts in
the greater Hot Springs area.
Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance began in 2014 at the suggestion of local
philanthropists Dorothy Morris and Don Munro. After a successful “Year Zero”
event and quarterly arts networking meetings, our vibrant arts community,
along with the Hot Springs National Park, the City of Hot Springs, and Visit
Hot Springs have collaborated to create Arts & The Park, our first annual arts
celebration in historic Hot Springs.
This 10-day celebration features artistic disciplines of every genre. We hope
that you will sample a wide variety of our fantastic events. The enthusiastic
participation of many Hot Springs talented individuals and organizations is
evidence of the Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance’s effort to carry out our
mission, and also bring art lovers from all over to experience the beauty of
Hot Springs.
We invite you to visit our website, www.HotSpringsArts.org and become a
member of the Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance. Please fill out and turn in
one of our evaluation surveys—your input will enable us to make next year’s
celebration even better.
See you at the Festival!
