Music Moves
Music Moves has brought the music back to 206 W. Walnut St. in Rogers
“It was actually the first movie theater in downtown Rogers. Later on, it was a longtime music store,” says Anthony Ball of the new venue, The Music Depot.
“In a sense, we’re returning it back to its original purpose of the art space in downtown Rogers,” Ball told us during a recent podcast with What’s Up!
Ball said he’s looking forward to hosting performances and workshops in the space to further the mission of Music Moves, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make Black music and the arts accessible both to students and to the entire community through performance and education.
Listen to the interview with Ball and learn more about The Music Depot and Music Moves on our podcast at nwaonline.com/716depot.
