Located adjacent to the Momentary in downtown Bentonville, the proposed Bentonville Ballroom is a new 2,500-capacity live music venue designed to expand Northwest Arkansas’ growing arts and entertainment district. Polk Stanley Wilcox serves as the Arkansas architect in collaboration with Live Nation, Blueprint Studio, and BIG–Bjarke Ingels Group.
The venue is envisioned as an extension of Bentonville’s creative culture, providing a flexible destination for concerts, community events, and private gatherings while strengthening the connection between music, architecture, and the surrounding landscape. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Ozarks, the design incorporates warm, natural materials and inviting public spaces that create an immersive experience before, during, and after each performance.
Designed to welcome both visitors and the local community, Bentonville Ballroom contributes to the continued evolution of downtown Bentonville as a nationally recognized destination for arts, culture, and innovation. The project reflects a shared vision of creating an iconic entertainment venue that enriches the region while celebrating its unique character.
