The Covid Hearts Project is a new, collaborative art project created by Fayetteville visual artist Monica Moore. The opening reception will be held at Fort Smith Regional Art Museum (RAM) on July 26 from 5-7 p.m. and the exhibit will be on display during museum hours (Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and 1-5 p.m. on Sundays) through December 1, 2024. This art installation, meant to serve as a memorial for those who died from COVID-19 in Arkansas, showcases a total of 2,700 hearts within three frames, collected and arranged to honor special groups, including essential health care and “frontline” workers. A third frame features hearts cut by a grieving aunt who, like many, missed funeral services during lockdown. Museum guests may cut and donate their own paper hearts to contribute to the ongoing project.

Moving. Meditative. Magical.Experience an immersive vision of art-infused wellness
Join us for an immersive journey at the intersection of music, wellness, technology, and art created by four-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and mental health pioneer Jewel!
Presented as a collaboration between Jewel and Crystal Bridges, The Portal features one-of-a-kind, 200-piece aerial drone shows choreographed by Jewel and set to an original score by the artist, a meditative art walk featuring works by prominent contemporary artists, a never-before-seen painting and sculpture by Jewel, and chef-crafted dining options as part of a complete experience for the body, mind, and spirit.
From the seven-foot hologram of Jewel welcoming you to the experience to the culminating choreography over the museum’s central pond, each element of the experience invites us to explore Jewel’s concept of the Three Spheres of human existence: the inner world, outer world, and the unseen world.
Encompassing our experiences of mind, body, and spirit, Jewel has meticulously crafted each aspect of The Portal to harmonize the Three Spheres, creating a dynamic space and experience where inner thoughts, external actions, and hidden emotions converge.
Innovative, transformative, and just plain fun, The Portal promises a moving, restorative experience unlike any other at Crystal Bridges.
See you there!

“Breath is Life, Movement is Life.” Data and experience suggests an increased focus, energy, self-awareness, and overall happiness while regularly practicing Mindful Movement. This class introduces several systems of mindful movement and how to integrate these practices into your daily lives to obtain a greater sense of personal empowerment and balance.
Ed Mink will bring his 35 years of experience as a wellness educator to this interactive class. The holistic lifestyle of Yoga will serve as the foundation for the series and also the connecting thread as we explore Pilates, Boxing and Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing). This engaging, interactive and experiential weekly class will be somewhat flowing in focus, incorporating a blend of soft and dynamic movements designed to improve balance and coordination while enhancing personal wellness.

Even if one practices poses and sequences on the yoga mat daily, by its very nature most ‘Yoga is done off the yoga mat!’ Yoga is an integrated holistic, wellness oriented lifestyle which is the foundation for this class. A number of years ago the University of Arkansas adopted an 8 dimensional model of health and wellness that shares a number of characteristics with the Yoga lifestyle. Ed Mink, retired Director of University of Arkansas Wellness & Health, will introduce this paradigm and explore the Eight Limbs of Yoga. Compassion and non-violence, as well as ‘Yogic eating” will also be explored and practiced with intention. Through experiential learning, participants will come to realize and appreciate Yoga as Wellness.
Participants should bring a personal wellness journal to class along with a yoga mat or towel. Dress in easy-to-move-in clothing.
