When world-renowned artist Ana Marietta came to Fort Smith in 2015, she left us with this incredible mural that's been stopping traffic (literally!) ever since.

💡Pro tip: Grab a coffee from Arabica Coffee House Fort Smith, AR ☕and a pastry from Harvest Moon Bakery on your way downtown then take a walking tour of our world-class murals. There's nothing quite like art on this scale! 🎨

It's just one reason why Fort Smith isn't just a place to visit - it's a place to experience. Come see why our city is becoming known as Arkansas's unexpected art destination.
