ACANSA Arts Festival of the South exists as a visual and performing arts festival dedicated to building a more dynamic and engaging community through the arts and enriching the cultural vitality of the region. By fostering creative collaborations among artists, patrons, businesses, and community institutions, we facilitate the creation and presentation of more compelling art that encourages public dialogue, economic innovation, exposes people to a wider array of artistic experiences, and makes our community a stronger and more vibrant place to live.

Though ACANSA’s programming spans the entire year, the central Arkansas community and visitors celebrate ACANSA’s signature multi-week, multi-venue Arts Festival of the South in September.

ACANSA was founded by Charlotte Gadberry with the help of hundreds of dedicated volunteers throughout the central Arkansas community. The first ACANSA Festival was held in 2014. The Festival’s name, ACANSA, is borrowed from the Quapaw word for “southern place.”
