Artists of Northwest Arkansas Hosts Grand Opening Of New Studio In Downtown Rogers
Artists of Northwest Arkansas will host the grand opening of the new ANA Gallery at 300 N 2nd St in Downtown Rogers this Friday, Apr 25, from 5-8p.
A Fresh Start: After losing its former space in the 2024 tornadoes, ANA is debuting a new 3,500 sqft gallery and studio just blocks away. The opening celebration and exhibition will feature work by 16 gallery artists, live music, refreshments, and a special presentation by Eureka Springs artist Zeek Taylor.
More Than a Gallery: For over 30 years, ANA has championed local artists across the region. With this new space, they’ll expand monthly receptions, member shows, workshops, and community events to bring even more art to NWA.

Arkansas’s First Gluten-Free Brewery Opens in Bentonville
Stoic Brews Alternative, Arkansas’s first 100% gluten-free brewery and taproom, is now open in Downtown Bentonville.
Gluten Be Gone: Opened by longtime locals Rebecca and Jay Davitt, Stoic Brews is a safe haven for gluten-free diners and drinkers alike. Rebecca, who brews using millet, buckwheat, and rice, aims to create a welcoming space for anyone with food sensitivities. Stoic is one of less than 30 gluten gluten-free breweries in the US.
Bar Bites: The menu features six staple GF beers, from hazy IPAs to Belgian-style witbier. They also serve pretzels, pizzas, and pupusas, made with gluten-free dough from Sandi Sue's Gluten Free Bakery in Bentonville.

What Sets the Adventure Subaru Experience Apart
Adventure Subaru just does things differently—and it makes the car-buying experience a whole lot better.
Expert Guidance: For starters, their sales team isn’t paid on commission. So instead of a pushy salesperson, you get a Product Specialist whose job is to stay sharp on all things Subaru and help you find the right fit—no pressure, just real knowledge.
No Hidden Fees: The price you see is the price you pay, because not charging a doc fee is just the right thing to do. And if you’re trading in or selling a car, they’ll give you a fair offer that reflects your vehicle’s real value.
Check out their inventory and see how simple car buying can be HERE.
