"Finding Our Way | February 5 - April 26, 2026
The moment of arrival—what we carry when we seek sanctuary, transitions, and the crossing into safety. Sandra Spotts, artist. Jay Lane, artist. Familiar images made from various materials and objects, found and recycled, placed in a format of controlled chaos, is at this point in my journey, the medium of choice for the
“Finding Our Way” exhibit at Gotahold Brewing. I see society as satirical subject matter that exists in a surrealistic landscape of twisted perspective that is filled to the fences with social ironies. And yet, I still have to maintain my sense of humor about what has been and what will be with the activities du jour based on fear, war, greed, and hate. With this sense also comes my interpretations, expressed visually based on my
experiences, feelings, and health, from finding my way as an artist. I hope these pieces give you a sense of curiosity that you continue to carry with you while you are finding your way through all of this we humans call life."

You’re invited to an  Educator Preview Night for America 250: Common Threads, a vibrant special exhibition in honor of America’s Semiquincentennial!

Join us for an early look at this once-in-a-generation exhibition celebrating 250 years of the American spirit, co-created with input from teachers and students across Arkansas. America 250: Common Threads explores the history of our country, ideas of independence, and the importance of community through a rich mix of historical documents, newly commissioned works, and recent acquisitions from the Crystal Bridges collection. Together, these works invite reflection on how the myriad of voices in our country tell a powerful story of independence and community.

This free evening is designed for educators and education administrators, offering a preview of the student visit experience. You’ll be welcomed with an introduction to the exhibition and its educational goals, with Museum Educators available throughout the galleries to answer questions, share how students will engage with the exhibition, and highlight educational resources that support learning before, during, and after a visit.

In addition to the curated exhibition,  America 250: Common Threads features a participatory quilt project that invites students to see their ideas take shape inside the museum. Student-designed quilt squares from across the state are being stitched together by live quilters to create commemorative quilts. During the preview night, you’ll be able to see this engagement in action. Educators are also welcome to pick up a quilt kit for their classroom! Student-designed squares can be returned to the museum during a future field trip or at any point while the exhibition is on view.

Join us for a special Supper Club at the Momentary, featuring a Filipino boodle fight led by Chef Kuya Bill of Lasang Pinoy.

Rooted in Filipino tradition, a boodle fight is a communal feast—vibrant dishes spread across banana leaves, shared by hand, and enjoyed together around one table.

Chef Kuya Bill brings the bold, comforting flavors of Filipino home cooking to this hands-on dining experience, celebrating food as a vehicle for connection, storytelling, and community. Expect generous portions, bright flavors, and an evening that’s as much about togetherness as it is about the meal. Come hungry, leave connected, and don’t be afraid to get your hands a little messy.

Tickets are $115 ($105/members), reserve your spot online or with Box Office at (479) 657-2335 today.
The ticket includes a three-course meal and a welcome mocktail. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. You must be 21+ to consume alcohol.

Kick things off in Eleven, where our mixologists will teach you how to craft the perfect cocktail. Then head into the America 250: Common Threads exhibition with the curators for a tour that explores the symbols artists turn to when celebrating or commenting on the United States: George Washington’s many faces, eagles appearing across books, baskets, and coverlets, flags seen as quilts or as documentation of the moon landing, and more.

Tickets: $25 ($20 for members), reserve your spot online or by calling Guest Services at (479) 657-2335
