Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts grand opening arrives after pandemic-related delays

,

KUAR | By Daniel Breen, Ronak Patel

After nearly four years of construction, the newly-reimagined Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts is set to open in the coming days. The multi-million-dollar project was originally set to open in May of last year, but pandemic-related construction delays pushed the opening.

Harriet Stephens, chair of the museum’s capital campaign, credited the mix of public and private funds with helping the project become a reality.

“The public funding of $31 million was generated through a hotel revenue tax bond approved and voted for by the citizens of Little Rock. Then private support from Little Rock and beyond more than quadrupled the public contribution,” Stephens said.
