About OZ Art NWA

Founded in 2017 in the hometown of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Momentary, OZ Art NWA elevates the regional arts scene by amplifying the work of local arts organizations and sharing a growing collection on view in surprising public places throughout Bentonville and beyond.

The collection includes works spanning a variety of media and forms, including murals, outdoor installations, sculptures, paintings, and drawings, that celebrate contemporary voices speaking to issues such as diversity, gender equality, and racial equity. Exploration is a way of life in Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas.
