From museums and galleries to murals on buildings, art along our regional trails, and rotating exhibitions of professionally curated art on the walls of local restaurants and bars — visual art is truly on full display everywhere you turn in Northwest Arkansas!

One such rotating exhibition on view now through mid-August is Fayetteville artist Aaron Bleidt’s new solo show at Oven & Tap in downtown Bentonville!

Curated by Rogers-based MIXD Gallery and with about 20 works on display, this free exhibition invites viewers to "fall down the rabbit hole” as the collection explores imaginative what-if scenarios and various thoughts, objects, figures and emotions through a series of bold, colorful vignettes that somehow feel both random and relatable at the same time.

Oven & Tap is located at 215 S. Main St., just south of the Bentonville Square. Follow Aaron’s art on Instagram @artfuloutsider or learn more at artfuloutsider.com. The framed works on display at O&T may be purchased through MIXD Gallery via QR codes printed on the labels.
