Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art will be closed Monday, May 13, to prepare for the visit of Antiques Roadshow. We will return to normal hours of operation Wednesday, May 15.

Join us for an exhilarating adventure where young artists and biking enthusiasts come together! Led by skilled instructors from Bike School Bentonville, campers will embark on exciting rides through the scenic trails of Crystal Bridges and work on their biking skills, techniques, and safety. Along the way, campers will unleash their creative side by making artwork inspired by the art along the trails.

Through this dynamic fusion of biking and art, campers will not only refine their biking skills but also nurture their artistic talents, fostering imagination, self-expression, and a deeper connection with the outdoors. Join us for a week of movement, creativity, and outdoor exploration at Art in Motion with Bike School Bentonville—an adventure that spins together the joy of riding and the beauty of artistic expression!
