Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this deliciously funny send-up of Shakespeare’s Hamlet is set to take Broadway by storm in 2023 following a sold-out run at The Public Theater. When the ghost of Juicy’s father demands that Juicy avenge his murder, fatal intent doesn't come easy to this sensitive, self-aware, young Black man in search of his own happiness and liberation. From an uproarious Southern family cookout emerges a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy, revenge and karaoke.
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.

There is a solution for improving the body changes that come with aging. Healthy aging requires one to systematically stretch and condition muscles that will protect the aging joints.
Vicky Willis, a certified Yoga instructor and OLLI’s Yoga guru, will lead participants in the slow, exact movements practiced in Yoga that will enhance strength, eliminate joint stiffness, restore flexibility and range of motion, improve agility, and improve balance. These key areas - strength, flexibility, agility and balance - are the foundations of healthy living and living without the morning shuffle of pain and stiffness.
The Spiro Mounds are located west of Fort Smith close to the Arkansas River. Over a dozen earthen mounds were built at the site and were used from approximately 900 AD to 1450 AD. Spiro served as an important locus for mortuary rituals. Excavations have uncovered evidence of communication and trade from distant sites in the country.
A site visit is scheduled on May 9 following a detailed discussion about the site led by researchers, Dr. Alex Barker and Dr. Jami Lockhart, from the Arkansas Archeological Survey. Transportation from the Arkansas Archeology Office at 2475 N Hatch Avenue will be provided.
All participants will meet at the AR Archeology Survey Bldg regardless of which option is chosen. Lunch will be on your own.

Falls are a common concern for older adults, with more than 25% experiencing them each year. These incidents can result in broken bones, mobility issues, and various other complications, particularly for those aged 65 and above. Fractures can cause significant pain and disability, impeding everyday tasks such as cooking and bathing, often requiring assistance. In severe cases, broken hips can lead to serious health issues, and in some instances, even prove fatal.The encouraging news, however, is that there are numerous measures one can take to reduce the risk of falling. We will be discussing how to reduce falls and live healthy.

The Rogers Historical Museum announces a new temporary exhibit, “Last Call: History of Alcohol in Ozarks” on show March 15 through November 9, 2024.
The tangled history of moonshiners and bootleggers versus the energetic women of the temperance society all played important roles in the complicated story of alcohol in Arkansas. This exhibit follows the chronological pendulum of Arkansas law as it swings back and forth through the years between the cold sober teetotalers who campaigned for dry counties and the high-spirited bibbers who supported wet counties. See how the legacy of this historic battle led to the present-day success of more retail alcohol sales than ever before in Northwest Arkansas.
Included in the exhibit are an authentic Ozarks copper still, a mid-20th century commercial wine bottling machine, as well as many local stories and historic photographs.
