Special exhibition of the Eureka Springs Historical Museum showcasing original artwork and historical artifacts from Louis and Elsie Freund. Runs through September 5, 2026. The Historical Museum is open 9:30am to 4pm daily, closed on Sundays and Wednesdays.

The Museum of Eureka Springs Art is pleased to be a part of the citywide celebration of "Louis and Elsie Freund Day" July 6! We will be celebrating their life in Art with a thirty day show, highlighting works by Louis and Elsie, and her amazing "Elsaramics" jewelry designs, from our permanent collection and loaned by private collectors! Come celebrate the wedding anniversary of this amazing couple - two lifetimes spent together working in art and building the Eureka Springs art scene! The Art Museum is also open Thursday 10 to 4pm, Friday 11 to 5pm, Saturday 11 to 5pm, and Sunday 1 to 3pm.

The Eureka Springs Historical Museum and Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Library co-present "The American Scene" - a special audio essay originally recorded by Louis Freund in January 1987. This audio cassette recording found in the Historical Museum archives has been digitally restored and will be presented alongside a slideshow of related images from the museum's collection.

The Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow presents a special Freunds "Poetluck". The evening begins with a communal meal, featuring homemade dishes from every corner of the kitchen. After dinner, the room comes alive with an open mic where attendees share their latest work in a warm, supportive setting. From poems and essays to songs, scenes, and spontaneous musings, the mic is open to it all (within reason, of course). Whether you’re there to listen or to share, Poetluck is about connection — between neighbors, between artists, and across generations of creativity.

Main Street Eureka Springs and Walk With Eureka are proud to announce the launch of "Freund Days", a special July celebration honoring the enduring legacy of Louis and Elsie Freund and their impact on the culture, creativity, and spirit of Eureka Springs. As part of the celebration, local residents living in zip codes 72631 and 72632 are invited to take the downtown walking tour free of charge every Thursday in July with a valid ID. The tour experience explores the stories, architecture, hidden spaces, art, and layered history of Downtown Eureka Springs while encouraging residents to reconnect with the community they call home.

Included as a segment of our Sunday service, Crescent Dragonwagon will present "Freundly Fire: The Two-Handed Practice of Being Mentored and Passing It On." Included in the program will be opening music by Starr Mitchell & George West of Lark in the Morning on hammered dulcimer and fiddle. They'll perform "As Time Goes By," a song beloved by the Freunds and part of their 50th Anniversary celebration (held at Dairy Hollow House). Crescent will tell stories about how Louis and Elsie shaped Eureka Springs and many of its individual artists and writers. She will also talk about discovering the responsibility and privilege of being mentored; and its attendant and necessary passing on of the values, practices, community, and generosity one has received. A buffet lunch will be provided following services, featuring several of Elsie’s favorite recipes.

The Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow presents "A Freundly Tea" - details TBD.
