The Benton County Daily Record ran an article highlighting the Crystal Bridges at the Massey and the exhibition schedule for the coming year. Crystal Bridges at the Massey opened in June 2007 at 125 W. Central Ave. The location serves as a temporary site until 2010 when the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is slated for opening.
From February 13th to May 3rd, the first exhibition will be called “Proof Positive: Master Prints From the Collection of Fisk University Galleries”. The exhibit will feature forty prints that portray African-American printmaking during the 20th Century. Artists featured will include: Romare Bearden, Martin Puryear, Elizabeth Catlett, James Wells, Hale Woodruff and Ted Jones. The works will date from the Harlem Renaissance to the present.
From May 16th to August 9th, the exhibit “Through the Needle’s Eye” will celebrate embroidery by featuring contemporary and traditional embroidery, quilting and needlepoint examples.
From August 21st to October 25th, “Harry Miller’s Vision of Arkansas” will showcase the Arkansas White River country through photographs taken from 1900 to 1910.
From November 6th to January 3rd, the museum will host “Draw Me a Story: A Century of Children’s Book Illustrations”, a collection of forty-three works by forty-one artists that displays over one hundred years of children’s stories and illustrations. There will be educational learning opportunities for the public during each exhibit.
The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is slated to be one of the most recognized and relevant museums in the world.
