Regional Artisan Program

The Crystal Bridges Museum Store embraces the time-honored Arkansas tradition of excellence in craftsmanship. We offer a variety of beautiful, hand-crafted objects made by artisans from across the region who are working in a range of traditional materials and methods. Our selection of merchandise by regional artisans ranges from architectural baskets to hand-thrown pottery to graceful woodworks. Each of these objects represents the highest-quality work we can find, and expresses Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s mission of melding art, architecture, and nature.

Architect Marlon Blackwell designed the museum store at Crystal Bridges to be an organic complement to the museum’s natural setting and distinctive architecture. Under a living green roof, the interior ceiling and walls are lined with undulating Cherrywood ribs that mimic the fluting on the underside of a mushroom. Blackwell practices architecture in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and serves as distinguished professor at the Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design at the University of Arkansas.

Blackwell’s design received an American Institute of Architects Honor Award for Interior Design in 2015.
