The Arkansas Arts Center is located in MacArthur Park, just south of 9th Street, where the Little Rock Arsenal was located during the Civil War. The birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur, which is now the Arkansas Military Museum, is adjacent to the Art Museum. There is plenty of parking outside the building. Admission is free, but there is a box for contributions. When I visited they had a special exhibit for Delta artists in one section of the museum. You just have to register at the front desk to gain admission to the Delta exhibit. Works of art, mainly paintings, but some sculptures, from artists from Arkansas and surrounding states were on display. Many of the artists were born in other states, but have moved to Arkansas. All the works were interesting, and showed a sense of style and sophistication. Other parts of the museum housed the permanent collection. One section was devoted to French Impressionists. There was another gallery devoted to the works of young artists. The museum is larger inside than you would think at first, and it takes time to wander from one room to the next. Arkansas is not a large state, compared to others, but this collection of art, for a small state, is worth a visit. I should also like to mention that the new Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, AR is also a very fine art museum, and should be visited, although it is quite a distance from Little Rock.

The Painted Pig is located at the corner of Fillmore & R Streets and facing south towards Cantrell Road. We are in a strip shopping center next to Burge's Restaurant. You can't miss the Lime Green awning out front with the Pig on it.The inside of the space is painted with whimsical, fun colors for an enjoyable experience of Do-It-Yourself, Arts & Crafts. * Stay tuned though... as we are moving to a larger space nearby in early 2019 with added crafts and activities!

The River Market itself has a great variety of foods for lunch. My favorites are the Thai Bangkok Curry and whatever the Indian place is serving. The district has some gems like the Flying Saucer and the Freckled Frog.
