Deepavali Art Studio
Special Chai Time with Crystal Bridges

Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation, in collaboration with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, is excited to celebrate Deepavali (also called Diwali), the Indian festival of lights.

Together, we’ll watch the story of Deepavali through a live “Yakshagana” performance, a traditional Indian theater style that combines music, dance, and storytelling. We'll also get creative with hands-on activities of traditional Indian “Diya” (lamp) with clay and other festive Indian crafts and designs to share associated with the holiday.

Local artists from our community will join us, and we’re inviting all school kids and families from across Northwest Arkansas to take part. As always, we’ll share some sweet treats to mark the occasion.

Date: Sunday, October 12, 2025
Time: 1 PM – 4 PM
Venue: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Great Hall
Location: 600 Museum Way, Bentonville, AR 72712
