Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, Pine Bluff

Native American culture was thriving in this region when Spanish explorers penetrated the area in the 1500s, followed by the French and English — all seeking adventure, fortune, or souls. Exploring the Frontier ignites the imagination and challenges the intellect while setting the story of the Arkansas experience as a crossroads of many cultures.
