“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
Art Moves 2026, “Making Waves” by Miranda Jean
Art belongs to everyone.
Hot Springs has always drawn people in, captivating them with its natural beauty, history, and architecture. But what keeps people here, what makes this community feel like home, is the art woven into everyday life.
HSACA is the alliance behind that creative life. We showcase the artists who call Hot Springs home, advocate for the resources they need to thrive, and connect a cultural scene that belongs to every resident and every visitor who walks through downtown.
From the monthly Gallery Walk, which has been happening on the first Friday of each month for 37 years, to a 10-day spring festival that transforms the heart of the city, we have a growing movement that positions Hot Springs as a cultural destination with national standing. We are here to make art visible, accessible, and economically viable because art belongs to everyone and to anyone who wants to be part of its melting-pot creative community.
-
We showcase arts and culture across every available platform — elevating local artists, driving event attendance, and telling the story of our arts community and why Hot Springs leads as a cultural destination.
-
We champion the community and economic value of the arts, building relationships with city, state, and national partners who recognize what a strong creative sector means for a city's identity and economic health.
-
We provide resources and opportunities that help artists and organizations grow, optimizing the capacity of Hot Springs' creative community so that talent translates into sustainable livelihoods.
-
We connect people, partners, and experiences — bringing residents, visitors, artists, and organizations into meaningful relationship with one another and with the culture that defines this place.
