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.

Some art isn’t meant to make a statement—it’s there to listen.

Where To is a pop-up art experience inviting visitors to share their thoughts and experiences about local public transit, hosted in partnership with Ozark Regional Transit (ORT).

Join us Friday night and Saturday and meet artist Octavio Logo and ORT staff at the Rogers Frisco Festival to discuss the Where To art project and the public transit needs of the Northwest Arkansas community. You’ll have the chance to make your voice heard and help share what needs and barriers to public transit exist in your communities, as well as join in on creative activism.

Come create a temporary mural on the side of an ORT bus and illustrate your dreams for the future of public transit. Guests will be able to help craft this piece of temporary public art, as well as take action and arrange to contact their local officials to advocate for transit needs across Northwest Arkansas.

The event will take place at the Frisco Festival in downtown Rogers, Arkansas. Guests are encouraged to park in public parking in downtown Rogers. Please see the Frisco Festival website or Facebook page for the most up-to-date information about the Frisco Festival. The ORT bus will be parked near the Elm Ave bus shelter, at 118 West Elm St in Rogers.

Free, no registration required.

Where To is a part of the  Arts and Social Impact Accelerator Program (ASAP) at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. ASAP partners with local artists and communities to create arts-based solutions to address social issues in Northwest Arkansas.

Presented in partnership with Ozark Regional Transit, Crystal Bridges, and Octavio Logo. Learn more about our partners.
