Two Northwest Arkansas locations we know and love are finalists for World-Architects’ U.S. Building of the Year.

• Ozark Natural Foods Co-Op: The Fayetteville building was renovated from an old grocery store that had been vacant for years, and now it a place to get fresh organic foods, stay for lunch, or hang out on the largest porch in town. 
• The Momentary: The other NWA finalist is the contemporary art space found in downtown Bentonville. The Momentary is a sister project of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and inhabits what used to be an abandoned Kraft Foods cheese factory.
