Eureka Springs has already created a plan to have visitors to travel to Eureka Springs via our Trolley system. what a great opportunity for museum guest to travel to a real working arts community. Contact the Eureka Springs trolley for details.
What a wonderful idea to extend the arm of art and creativity from Crystal Bridges to Eureka Springs. As I discussed yesterday, Eureka Springs is a living arts community with countless galleries in town and many artist in residence in Eureka. The city of Eureka Springs and Mayor have even created an organization to help sustain the Art Community in Eureka Springs. The many galleries in town provide the foundation and flavor in which Eureka Springs exits. Be sure to plan to attend the 12th Annual Big Glass Sale at Zarks.
