Experience
There is so much to do on the Mountain that it is hard to encompass in just a few sentences, but we’ll try. For starters, we offer one of the best camps for kids in northwest Arkansas; you can interact with art and artists through Creative Spaces; you can learn about cooking, pairing, and plating while enjoying some of the tastiest food in Fayetteville; plus swimming, tennis, and ample green space. Come play with us!
Activities
Pool
The pool at Mount Sequoyah provides a place for relaxation, lessons, and play to everyone.
We are currently evaluating the way in which we will be able to open to the public for 2020. Please be patient as we work on implementing new rules, regulations, and guidelines.
Tennis
Join head coach Josh Hedrick for programming with the Mount Sequoyah Tennis Academy.
Creative Spaces
Creative Spaces at Mount Sequoyah plays a vital role within the vibrant northwest Arkansas arts community. A destination for inspiration and connection, the Mountain provides a setting for contemplation, collaboration, and community engagement. Creative Spaces supports arts residencies, studio spaces and public arts programming. Artists-in-residence and visitors alike will have access to a wide range of experiences and opportunities that will enhance for all a sense of connection to the Arts and to their own creative potential.
Creative Spaces brings community engagement and arts residencies to Mount Sequoyah Center. Creative Spaces is one of many programs and experiences that enhances and adds to the organization’s mission.
Stay tuned as we shape Creative Spaces! For now, studio space is available to rent and we are happy to host arts programming on the Mountain.
