The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is Arkansas's state funded museum dedicated to the story of African American life and business. It focuses on collecting, preserving, interpreting and celebrating African American history, culture and community in Arkansas from 1870 to the present, and informs and educates the public about black achievements-especially in business, politics and the arts.
In 2008, the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is slated to open to the public as a state-of-the-art facility with more than 8,000 square feet of interactive exhibit and education space. A large third floor auditorium will provide opportunity to explore the story of Arkansas's African Americans through public forums, conferences, and performing arts.
The facility is currently under construction at the corner of West Ninth and Broadway Streets, the site of the original Mosaic Templars of America Headquarters Building, which was destroyed in a fire in March 2005. The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is dedicated to building the cultural connection and to telling the stories of Arkansas's African American life and business.
The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is a museum of the Department of Arkansas Heritage
