Exciting news! 🏅
AMFA has won a 2025 National Medal for Museum and Library Service — the highest honor in the nation for museums and libraries awarded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
“This award recognizes and represents years of hard work and dedication by AMFA leadership, staff, volunteers, artists, educators, and community partners who make the Museum what it is today — a vibrant cultural hub where all are welcome to discover, learn, and find joy in the arts,” notes AMFA Chief Executive Officer Dr. Victoria Ramirez.
Mark your calendar to celebrate with us this summer! Join us at Family Fest: American Summer, a FREE museum-wide, family-friendly event on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Expect to enjoy hands-on art activities, savor a festive outdoor picnic experience, and explore Community Created, a monumental art installation made from postcards submitted by Arkansans across the state.
Stay tuned for more details!
