Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is proud to announce its third annual art fair, in Bentonville, Arkansas. This fair offers a unique and elevated experience compared to other regional craft fairs. This event goes beyond just showcasing art – it creates an immersive environment that highlights high-quality, curated works from both local and national artists.
By being hosted on the Crystal Bridges campus, a renowned cultural institution, we elevate the event to a higher level of sophistication and accessibility, attracting art enthusiasts and collectors who may not typically attend traditional craft fairs. In doing so, we fill the gap of providing a refined, artistic platform that fosters deeper connections, supports artists at all stages of their careers, and brings the community together in an inspiring and dynamic way.
This year the Art Fair will be hosted at the Heartland Whole Health Institute on the front lawn, inside the ballroom, and back patio. This is on the Crystal Bridges Campus, just up the hill from the museum itself at 850 Museum Way. This location and terrain will be easier for both artists and guests to navigate, while still in proximity (5 min walk or a shuttle ride) to the museum itself.
Designed by Marlon Blackwell Architects, the Institute building is inspired by the natural landscape of the Ozarks. The institute forms part of the Crystal Bridges Campus.
With our move to a larger location, we’ll expand the number of participating artists beyond previous years. We’re also introducing a dedicated Teen and College Artist component to better engage our regional creative community and draw even more visitors to the Art Fair.
