SoMa is growing and vibrant and looking to add even more color, this time on the streets.

  • Corner of Creativity: Nestled at the intersection of 13th and Main Street in downtown, you find yourself in the heart of one of the city's most beloved and vibrant neighborhoods—SoMa. This bustling 4-way intersection, a focal point within SoMa, encapsulates the community's dynamic spirit.

  • Artist for Hire: The Downtown Little Rock Partnership (DLRP) is teaming up with the City of Little Rock, SOMA 501, Inc., and SOMA BAM. They're in search of an artist to add a unique touch to the asphalt at this intersection. It's a cool project that will bring even more creativity to the area.
