After three years of renovations, the Waltons' newest project has come to life. The Momentary opened in late February 2020 and has quickly gained popularity in Northwest Arkansas. The contemporary art museum took breathed new life into the 63,000-sq. ft. Kraft factory on E and 5th Street.

Instead of focusing on permanent collections, The Momentary is interested in creating moments of art. None of the art displayed at the museum will stay for long which means every visit you take will have new pieces to discover!
