The Murphy Arts District, regularly referred to as MAD,
is a state-of-the-art facility that has rendered itself a force to
be reckoned with in the South Arkansas entertainment and
community services area. MAD's consistent aim has been to
revitalize downtown El Dorado by bringing local residents and
visitors together to celebrate the rich culture and history present
in this eclectic Arkansas town.
The Murphy Arts District comprises multiple spaces, including
the MAD Amphitheater and the First Financial Music Hall. Each
of these venues has been utilized by various vendors, companies,
and individuals as locations for events ranging from concerts and
weddings to corporate picnics and parties.
The MAD Amphitheater, with a capacity of around 8,000,
has quickly become a popular feature in the community. The
Amphitheater is a turfed, outdoor area with plenty of space for
lawn chairs during outdoor musical gigs, vendor booths for
farmer's markets, or for individuals to reserve and set up for
company events.
The events hosted at the Amphitheater follow the changing
of the seasons. During the summer, families and friends can be
found lounging on the lawn watching movies projected onto a
large screen. In the winter season, the stage at the Amphitheater
is transformed into an ice-skating rink that brings community
members and guests alike together to enjoy a favorite coldweather
activity.
The First Financial Music Hall has a capacity of approximately
2,500 occupants and includes several amenities for many types
of events, whether it's a performance, wedding, banquet, or

reception. Performers such as Ludacris, Casting Crowns, Styx,
and the Beach Boys have all graced the Music Hall with their
performances. Additionally, the venue has hosted corporate
Christmas parties, pro-golf and holiday expos, and wedding
receptions.
" Our size and location make us the right place for any event, "
says Kelsie Madison, MAD's hosted events manager. " We can
accommodate an event that would fill our Amphitheater and
Music Hall, or we can go intimate with our smaller spaces. We
are a complete blank canvas, capable of transforming into any
style the client desires. " p
Renovations have changed this one-time
auto dealership into a state-of-the-art
entertainment venue.
