Art Bridges Foundation is the vision of philanthropist and arts patron Alice Walton, who wanted to build upon the foundational framework of providing access for everyone to experience art when she opened Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in 2011.
Since its founding in 2017, Art Bridges has created and supported programs that bring outstanding works of American art out of storage to share with communities across the nation.
