crystal bridges & momentary

Crystal Bridges is one of the most engaging organic gallery spaces I’ve experienced. Both this and the satellite location Momentary are within 10 minutes of one another and take a day to explore. It’s well worth the visit.

Designed by Moshe Safdie, the mission of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is to welcome all to celebrate the American spirit in a setting that unites the power of art with the beauty of nature. Founded by philanthropist and arts patron Alice Walton, Crystal Bridges is a public non-profit charitable organization.

The Momentary differs in multi-function as a performing arts venue, residency center, as well as a space to host rotating exhibits with broader narratives. I appreciate The Momentary’s extension into the community it is a part of. Art is as powerful as the people it dialogues with.

Formerly a decommissioned cheese factory, it is now a multidisciplinary space for visual arts, performing arts, culinary experiences, festivals, and artists-in-residence offering dynamic programs and experiences.
