WOW | KAWS: FAMILY

We invite you to Join Chef Timothy Ordway and his team of culinary artists for Wednesdays Over Water: A casual evening of food, drinks, and conversation featuring handcrafted small plates and expert insights.

Along the way, each course will be paired with hand-picked libations and spirited commentary by our Culinary team and guests. You’ll get the chance to meet fellow foodies, get an inside look at the art and artistry of great cuisine, and unwind with what promises to be a true feast for the senses.

This month, we’re celebrating the opening of our newest exhibition, KAWS: FAMILY!  Since the late 90s, Brooklyn-based artists KAWS began creating a cast of characters that populate his work.

Taking its title and thematic jumping-off point from the artist’s sculpture, FAMILY (2021), the exhibition explores the complex, familiar, and astonishingly heartfelt dynamics of family through KAWS’ iconic characters.

Featuring hand-crafted dishes, inspired drinks, and expert insights from museum curators, this special culinary event is the perfect way to kick off the exhibition. We hope to see you there!

Tickets are $105 + tax ($95 + tax for members), reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
Tickets include welcome cocktail, all food courses, and all beverages.

KAWS: FAMILY is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and curated by Julian Cox, Deputy Director & Chief Curator, Art Gallery of Ontario. The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art presentation is curated by Alejo Benedetti.

Wednesdays Over Water is sponsored by Baldwin & Shell | Cindy Flynt Walters and Betty Flynt.
