Crystal Bridges launches 'Art Everywhere' public art initiative
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, has launched 'Art Everywhere', a new public art initiative coinciding with its 114,000-square-foot expansion. The program commissions site-responsive works from ten artists for unconventional spaces such as hallways, stairwells, elevators, crosswalks, and restrooms across Crystal Bridges and the Momentary. Artists were invited to explore relationships with the natural environment and the museum's Ozark landscape. Each artist tailored their project to specific locations, aiming to blur boundaries between galleries and transitional spaces.
