Fenix Arts

Fenix Arts seeks to support and nurture the established, emerging, and underrepresented artist community in NWA. We are committed to providing opportunities for collaboration and connectivity across art disciplines and creating opportunities for community involvement in the arts.

Rebirth & Taking Flight

2020 saw great changes for Fenix Arts. We received non-profit status and moved our gallery space to join the arts community at Mount Sequoyah Center. Fenix Arts is now located in the Millar Lodge just off Skyline Drive. We are looking forward to the collaborative opportunities and beautiful outdoor spaces that Mount Sequoyah offers. We anticipate a future of murals on the mountain and sculpture walks that will invite public engagement and bring this historic space to life with the arts.
