This summer, you may notice more murals and outdoor paintings around the region. A big 'thank you' to local community sponsors and extremely talented artists for giving our community's curb appeal a boost.

• Notable stops: The Fayetteville downtown square is iconic, layered with art on every corner; several buildings along Springdale's Emma Avenue mural tour; Rogers newly opened Rail Yard district; and lastly, Bentonville's downtown core has plenty to see.
• Quote: "A mural is like the first indication that there's a group of people out there that just want this place better and more beautiful."

You can discover more about the murals through organizations like OZ Art NWA or a great summer bucket list article here.
