Digs in The Bakery District, Ft. Smith, AR - 5:00 p.m.
Brantstock 2026 kicks off with a special evening celebrating music, art, creativity, and community at Digs in The Bakery District.
Night one is family friendly and will open with live performances by talented students and staff from the Institute for Creative Arts High School (ICA) and Community School of the Arts.
In addition, the evening also includes performances by 2025 Battle of the Bands Champion Fadeaway, and Flannels N Chains who will be performing your favorite 90s alternative rock and grunge hits.
Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in our silent auction, a special partnership between BRLF and ICA. The auction will feature more than 20 pieces of original artwork created by talented ICA student artists. From paintings and drawings to other creative works, each piece showcases the passion, skill, and artistic vision of the next generation of creators.
In addition to the student artwork, guests can bid on unique items, experiences, gift certificates, and specialty donations from generous local businesses. These businesses believe in investing in the future of our youth. As a result, their support helps create opportunities for young people while strengthening our shared commitment to education, creativity, and community impact. We are incredibly grateful for their support.

One hundred percent of proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the ICA Art Department. These funds will help provide resources and opportunities for young artists to continue developing their talents.
Finally, while admission is free, donations are appreciated and help further the mission of BRLF.
