As part of its Arkansas Live initiative, Arkansas PBS will livestream a series of lectures from Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s Art & Wellness Festival, taking place Saturday, Nov. 1 through Monday, Nov. 3, at myarpbs.org/arkansaslive
The Art & Wellness Festival, themed “Well Being Here,” celebrates the connection between art, health, and community through three days of keynote lectures and experiences at Crystal Bridges and the Momentary. The festival invites attendees to explore what it means to be truly well — in the present moment and in their own communities.
Livestream coverage begins Saturday, Nov. 1, at 4 p.m. with “Designing for Art and Wellness,” featuring architects Moshe Safdie, Marlon and Ati Blackwell, and Wesley Walls, discussing how architecture can inspire emotional and physical well-being.
At 7 p.m., award-winning actor and philanthropist Goldie Hawn will headline “An Evening with Goldie Hawn: Inside MindUP,” where she shares insights from her MindUP program, which promotes mindfulness, gratitude, and resilience for children and families.
On Sunday, Nov. 2, at 4 p.m., “The Art of Healing” will feature world-renowned soprano Renee Fleming and author Susan Magsamen discussing how creative practices can improve mental and physical health.
The festival concludes with Richard Reeves, author and founder of the American Institute for Boys and Men, presenting “Rethinking Men’s Health and Social Connection.” His talk will explore how friendship, fatherhood, and community engagement strengthen well-being and connection.
The Art & Wellness Festival is sponsored by Mercy and Procter & Gamble. Additional event details are available at crystalbridges.org/series/wellness-festival
