The Hub is a versatile event space with over 10,000 sq. ft. of open floorplan. Its urban chic meets industrial look makes it ideal for conferences, workshops, and special events. Complete with AV equipment, podium, stage, and a large projector screen, your event will be unforgettable.
ADULT CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
We provide classes in fine arts, ceramics, glasswork, woodworking, digital design, screen printing, sewing, trade skills, and more. We also offer Team Building activities and Private Instruction. Start learning a new skill, enhance an existing one, or experience guidance on a project with the help of our expert educators.
YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, and we’re on a mission to ignite a passion for STEAM education to as many children as possible throughout Arkansas. The Hub hosts camps and after school programs and we travel with our Mobile Makerspace taking resources to students in their own community.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
We know Arkansans are seeking skilled labor. Our free 10-week scholarship-based program, Skills to Launch, offers training in trades such as Industrial Operations, Construction, Welding, and HVAC. The program develops technical and soft skills needed for success in these fields. Our job placement rate is high and our industry partners are top notch. We look forward to watching you succeed.
The Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Arkansans by inspiring innovation and expanding opportunities. Since the Hub’s opening in 2014, our state-of-the-art facilities have provided tools and training to entrepreneurs, students, and makers, preparing them to join and grow Arkansas’s economic ecosystem.
We see an Arkansas where, regardless of demographic identifiers or geographic location, Arkansans are generating and inspiring innovation in cutting-edge technology, business, and creative fields. The Innovation Hub uses tools, skills, and expertise to inspire innovators and entrepreneurs who expand the range of educational and economic opportunities for themselves, for their communities, in our state, and throughout the world.
We do much of our work through the support of donors, and we are a proud affiliate and branch of the North Little Rock Public Library System.
"The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others." - Albert Schweitzer

Makers Reached since 2014
“Our programs are supported by generous donors and partners. Without them, we would not be here. We are a 90% grant-funded nonprofit, and the belief from our donors that we can make a real impact enables us to empower the dreams of those we serve. We would like to take this opportunity to share our appreciation for each and every one of them, from the Hub’s inception to today and beyond!” – Errin Stanger
