Creative Arkansas Community Hub and Exchange (CACHE) is an intermediary arts organization that helps creatives and arts organizations become stronger and more influential within their communities. Working with creatives, organizations, and communities, CACHE empowers a more inspiring, inclusive, and equitable Northwest Arkansas.
CHACHE envisions their region as a sustainable crossroads of innovation where artists and creatives thrive and are valued across all disciplines, where organizations both for-profit and non-profit inspire and lead their sectors, and where arts, culture, and creativity are a part of everyday life for all citizens. CACHE continually maps, analyzes, and communicates the creative ecosystem as it evolves, and engages in data storytelling of findings to support public awareness and action. Additionally, they work to strengthen capacity across the arts & cultural ecosystem by providing multi-year & methodical professional development of artists, arts, and arts support organizations. CACHE also hosts an ongoing series of curated convenings aimed at specific creative audiences to promote communication and relationship-building across the sector.
The Medium is a space for expression, experimentation, and creative risk-taking, built with the intention to adapt, respond, and evolve with the needs of our community. The Medium follows a legacy of art and theater in downtown Springdale, occupying one of the longest-standing independent arts venues in Northwest Arkansas, providing affordable and accessible space for performances, rehearsals, meetings, exhibitions, and more.
