FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Walton Arts Center is temporarily suspending all performances and events through Sunday, April 5, due to fears of the coronavirus spreading.
“We have decided to take this unprecedented step to suspend public performances now because of safety concerns and in accordance with the declared state of emergency issued by local authorities,” said Peter Lane, president and CEO of Walton Arts Center. “The health and safety of our patrons and community are our top priorities and we have not made this decision lightly.”
The Walton Arts Center said they are working with artists to reschedule performances. More information will be provided in the future.
