The Momentary receives a 2026 USITT Architecture Merit Award!

We’re honored to share that The Momentary has received a 2026 USITT Architecture Merit Award!⁠

Creatively repurposed from a 70-year-old decommissioned cheese factory in Bentonville, Arkansas, the multidisciplinary visual and performing arts venue features five flexible spaces—from indoor to outdoor, from a traditional black box to a vertical stage—where performance intentionally overlaps and co-exists with visual art, culinary experiences, and social activities.⁠

We look forward to celebrating at the USITT Annual Conference & Stage Expo in Long Beach, where the Architecture Awards honor outstanding performance-space design that advances innovation, collaboration, and the live-arts experience.⁠
