The Missouri Arts Council has selected the City of Branson as Missouri’s 2022 recipient of the “Creative Community” Award.

In the press release from the Missouri Arts Council, it cites Branson as a national tourism magnet centered on theater, traditional Ozark arts, and especially music—now boasting nearly 40 theaters along nine miles east to west, from the 1936 Historic Owen Theatre in Branson’s historic downtown to the Silver Dollar City theme park’s outdoor amphitheater, that each week present more than 100 shows with a variety of music and other entertainment.
