Family Day: Happy Birthday Crystal Bridges

Crystal Bridges is turning 10, and we want you and your family to come celebrate with us!

As part of our anniversary festivities, we’re filling the museum with music, artmaking, photo booths, and more. From performances on our Van Cliburn Grand Piano greeting you in the Garrison Lobby to a communal mural project in the studios, we have festivities galore for guests of all ages.

Free, no tickets required. Drop in anytime from 12 to 5 PM.

Come explore the galleries and experience live music by performers from the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas. Learn more about works in our collection, see the beautiful arrangements of Art in Bloom, and break out your creative spirit with art-inspired fun in our classrooms. To add to the festival spirit, the CB to You Mobile Art Lab will be bringing their entire tour lineup of guest artists to the museum for demos, storytelling, and artmaking.

As an added thank you to our guests we’re offering free admission to our temporary exhibition In American Waters: The Sea in American Painting, Nov. 11 – 14. And, since no birthday party is complete without cake and dancing, we’ll be hosting a dance party in the Great Hall and cutting cake every hour. (No, you don’t have to bring presents.)

So join us as we say “Cheers” to 10 years of Crystal Bridges, and here’s to many more!
