Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is committed to delivering educational programs for people of all ages and experience levels nationwide. Crystal Bridges utilizes its regional student and teacher programs as a large-scale focus group to inform broad programs to have national impact. The museum has been recognized for its innovation in arts education and is quickly becoming a national hub that utilizes the visual arts as a mechanism to drive and coordinate system-level changes that address issues facing our nation’s schools.

In an effort to reach a greater number of schools, the program has expanded to serve more than 50,000 students. The extraordinary impact of their field trips has been well documented through an empirical study conducted by the University of Arkansas and published in the New York Times. 

Your contribution will enable us to continue to innovate in the field of arts education and inspire teachers, students, and patrons from across the world.
