The Arkansas Arts Center is in the midst of a major expansion designed by Studio Gang. The striking architectural design for the reimagined Arkansas Arts Center will strengthen the connections between the visual and performing arts in an inclusive space that welcomes a diverse community. The new facility will house a ground level restaurant with outdoor seating and multiple event spaces including the signature “cultural living room”, a dynamic community and gathering space with floor to ceiling glass walls. JGL’s scope included a feasibility study, modifying a previous consultants design work and an RFP process that concluded during the pandemic.
