The Artrageous Parade brings a burst of color and creativity to the streets as artists, makers, and community members celebrate art in motion. From imaginative costumes to one-of-a-kind mobile artworks, this lively parade showcases ESSA’s playful spirit. Want to be part of the magic? Submissions to participate in the parade are open through April 24!
When ESSA began in 1998, we were a school without walls, with passionate local artists offering up their studios to support workshops. A few years later, ESSA moved into a small campus with one building and an acre of land. Today, ESSA has grown into a 55-acre campus with seven teaching studios located in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas.
