Hot Springs Art Galleries
Hot Springs' Fine Arts District is unequalled within the state as artists and gallery owners have renovated Victorian and early twentieth-century buildings within the historic district into gallery and studio spaces. Opening receptions for new exhibits of international, national, and local artists are held within the galleries the first Friday of every month and the artists are often present to discuss their work.
