All three floors of our building will be open, with the second floor featuring an incredible temporary art gallery, the Arkansas Festival Ballet costume collection, and pieces from our presenting local artist Betty Turner.

Each one telling a story from Mrs. Turner’s life or pop culture, all ripe with political and social commentary. Turner has provided original paintings as well and only brought a few cutouts from the collection of 20+ works that will be shown in Dreamland Ballroom later this May.
