This July we are hosting our annual fundraiser with a goal of $25K to support our two main film programs at Low Key Arts - Inception to Projection Filmmaking Program & Persistence of Vision Film Festival. No amount is too small!

Now in its 15th year, Inception to Projection has significantly changed the face of the creative community within Central Arkansas. With over 100 films made in our classes, our students have gone on to prestigious film schools, built sustainable careers, and shared their stories at film festivals world-wide. Classes are currently underway and we need your support in order to keep this momentum growing! No amount is too small!

This January we will celebrate the 20th year of our film festival, Persistence of Vision - previously known as Arkansas Shorts. POV is a packed weekend celebrating filmmakers near and far. The program is composed of our favorite films made within Arkansas, alongside some of the most celebrated short and feature films from around the world. It's the best way to kick off the year by diving into a thoughtfully curated program of memorable stories, alongside a range of workshops, networking opportunities and special events.
