If you’ve driven down 8th Street lately, you might have noticed a buzz around The Momentary. This vibrant cultural space is always up to something, and now they’re adding a little more fun to the mix with their Game Nights, courtesy of the NWA Board Gamers. It’s a perfect excuse to dodge the Friday night Netflix scroll and dive into a world of dice, cards, and camaraderie.
Every select Friday from 5 to 8 PM, The Momentary invites folks to pop in for an evening of games. No tickets, no pressure—just a bunch of friendly faces ready to engage in some tabletop competition. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or a complete novice, there’s a seat at the table for you. Just head to the front desk to find out where exactly the action’s happening.

The charm of these game nights lies in their casual, community-driven nature. Each week, a different local group brings their favorite games to share. It’s a rotating showcase of the best board games, with something for everyone—be it strategic, cooperative, or just plain silly. You might find yourself deep in a game of Catan or laughing over a round of Exploding Kittens.
Location, Location, Location
Depending on the time of year and the weather, Game Night could be hosted in one of several spots at The Momentary. You might find yourself sipping an ONYX coffee indoors while you roll the dice, or enjoying the fresh air in the Courtyard. It’s not just about playing games—it’s about enjoying the atmosphere, meeting new people, and maybe even discovering a new favorite hobby.
For those who haven’t ventured to The Momentary yet, you’re in for a treat. This former cheese factory has been transformed into a contemporary arts space that complements its older sibling, Crystal Bridges. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, there’s always something new to see or do, like these game nights or even a happy hour with a twist.
Get Involved
If you’re keen on sharing your own collection of games or want to host a themed night, The Momentary is open to new partners. It’s a great way to introduce others to your favorite games and make new connections in the process. Just reach out to their team to see how you can get involved.
And if you’re planning to attend, just remember to check their schedule before you head out. Occasionally, Game Night might shuffle dates due to large events or festivals. But no worries—just a quick visit to their website will keep you in the know.
So, gather your friends, or come solo and make new ones, at The Momentary’s Game Nights. It’s a relaxed, fun way to jump into the local community vibe. And who knows? You might just find that perfect game that keeps you coming back for more.
See you there, dice in hand.
