Two new efforts have received pledges from a variety of partners and supporters, including the Alice L. Walton Foundation.
She founded Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas in 2011 and serves as chairperson of the museum’s Board of Directors. She is a member of the Walton Family Foundation and founder of the Alice L. Walton Foundation.
In 2020, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened a satellite location, the Momentary, focusing on contemporary visual and performing arts. These two institutions share a mission of providing access for all to world-class art and to date, Crystal Bridges has welcomed more than 5.6 million visitors from around the globe. Admission to both non-profit organizations is free for everyone.
Alice Walton’s philanthropic vision and commitment to increasing access to outstanding works of American Art extends to communities across the country. In 2017 she founded Art Bridges, a non-profit foundation that partners with institutions of all sizes to provide greater access to American art through projects that deeply engage communities.
In addition to her focus on access to the arts, Alice recently announced the formation of the Whole Health Institute and the development of the Whole Health School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Based in Bentonville, the organizations will drive radical transformation in healthcare delivery with the ultimate goal of making whole health and well-being affordable and accessible nationwide.
