Join Crystal Bridges Art Fair artist Jenny McGee to explore the art of small-scale abstraction in this hands-on mixed-media workshop.

You’ll create miniature abstract compositions on watercolor paper using bold acrylic backgrounds layered with textured elements like string, beads, paper, and even stones. Learn how to balance color and texture, experiment with layering techniques, and let your intuition guide the creative process.

Whether you’re new to mixed media or looking to spark fresh ideas, this class encourages playful exploration, creative connection, and expressive freedom to create a finished abstract artwork. Ages 14+

Tickets are $60 ($50 for members), reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.

"Teresa Pelliccio underwent a significant mind-shift in 2004 after reading The Power of Now and began a meditation practice. Shortly thereafter, she began experiencing conscious, otherworldly “trips” during her sleep. To understand and process these experiences, she turned to art. Her art forms are born from personal associations and blend spirituality, the metaphysical, intuition, self-empowerment and rebellion with femininity, whimsy and impulse. It is her wish that her work might inspire you to consider what may lie beyond the physical and encourage you to explore it. And, to love and support yourself fully as you do. 
Hilka Irvin is a Minnesota native who made Eureka Springs her home in 2014. A self-taught artist, she works in various mediums—oils, acrylics, and watercolor—each reflective of her mindset. In addition to visual art, she writes poetry and short stories to fulfill her creative soul. Her work is often described as eclectic, as she creates instinctively rather than adhering to expectations. Hilka thrives on stepping outside her comfort zone and expresses herself through art and writing that continues to evolve.
RIGDON IRVIN has always thought of art as a history of humankind. His art is very much influenced by the fact that he is a child of the 70’s. He was introduced to all kinds of music, art and various aspects of the counter culture at an early age, by older siblings, who were coming of age during that time. He loves color and watching it explode on the canvas, incorporating the architectural lines of the mid century, as well as the atomic themes of the space age. Being an abstract artist allows him the freedom to create art from “an anything goes” mindset. "

Two-time Grammy-nominated indie pop band Japanese Breakfast is returning to the Momentary this October!

Known for their emotionally charged and sonically stunning performances—as well as Michelle Zauner’s magnetic stage presence—the band’s live arrangements bring a dynamic twist to their studio recordings.

The band’s music blends indie rock, dream pop, shoegaze, and experimental pop, creating a unique and emotionally resonant sound that’s easy to connect with.

Their latest release, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), dives deep into themes of longing and introspection, blending sweeping melodies with haunting lyricism for an electrifying live experience—equal parts cathartic and mesmerizing.

Don’t miss the chance to hear these stunning new tracks like only Japanese Breakfast can deliver. The night’s performance will be opened by experimental pop artist SPELLLING.

See you there.

This concert is presented as part of the Momentary’s Live on the Green Concert Series on the Coca-Cola Stage.

This fall, roam a world outside time as acclaimed studio Klip Collective uses light, sound, and state-of-the-art projection mapping to transform acres of Ozark nature into a one-of-a-kind journey across time and space.

Designed exclusively for the museum’s North Forest, this outdoor, site-responsive experience features six immersive installations for you and your crew to explore. Witness the natural rhythms of the Earth brought to life, see yourself fractured across the surface of a broken time machine, marvel together at the movements of the forest in a landscape of light, and more.

Backed by a custom soundtrack and open during the Ozarks’ most beautiful season, Time Loop truly offers an outdoor experience unlike any in Northwest Arkansas.

Every time it rains, litter that is left on the ground washes to creeks and streams. You can help. Pick Up Where You Play is a series of litter cleanups happening throughout Northwest Arkansas during the fall months. Last year over 500 volunteers removed trash from parks, trails, creeks, rivers, and lakes. Volunteers are entered to win adventures in the 3 major watersheds of NWA.
