Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its satellite contemporary art space, the Momentary, expanded outreach and diversified both institutions in 2020 through new initiatives, acquisitions, exhibitions, programs, as well as staff and board updates: https://bit.ly/CrystalBridges-2020 • “In 2020, as our country navigated COVID-related challenges and grappled with racial inequities that threaten our democracy, Crystal Bridges embraced our role as a community-centered institution and committed to the ongoing work of being an anti-racist museum,” said Rod Bigelow, executive director and chief diversity inclusion officer. • More than 85,700 food, personal care, and art kits and boxes were distributed to schools, individuals, and community organizations across Northwest Arkansas; 25,000 attendees experienced online programs with over 5 million total video views across channels; Crystal Bridges and the Momentary featured thought-provoking exhibitions such as Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal…, State of the Art 2020, Nick Cave: Until, and Ansel Adams In Our Time; the museum acquired 100+ outstanding works, most by artists underrepresented in history; and created a new position, Director of Inclusion and Belonging, which will be committed to advancing the diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies at both Crystal Bridges and the Momentary. • “We believe in the power of art, especially contemporary art that speaks to these difficult times, allowing us to come together to have important conversations,” said Lieven Bertels, director of the Momentary. “Whether through community events, virtual concerts, or exhibitions, we know art can be a tool for reflection, inspiration, and activism.” • Click here to learn more about Crystal Bridges and the Momentary’s 2020 efforts to expand access, address community needs, and diversify the museum and the collection: https://bit.ly/CrystalBridges-2020 • Visit our website: https://CrystalBridges.org • Visit the Momentary’s website: https://theMomentary.org • Sign up for our enews to receive information on upcoming events: https://bit.ly/CrystalBridges-eNews
