About OZ Art NWA
Griffin Loop’s “Paper Airplane” 2019
It’s So Nice To Meet You
OZ Art NWA brings together a network of art, artists, events, and experiences throughout Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas. Founded in 2017 in the hometown of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Momentary, OZ Art NWA supports the regional arts scene with its own collection displayed throughout Bentonville and by collaborating with regional arts organizations.
Exploration is a way of life in Bentonville. OZ Art NWA is about incorporating beautiful and inspiring art in our everyday lives in Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas.
The Collection
Ashley Longshore’s “George Washington Supreme” and “Abe Lincoln with Sunglasses and Koi” 2018
Museum Quality, Fine Art
in Surprising Places
Imagine being in a coffee shop paying for your morning latte and you spot an original and authentic piece of art behind the bar. Or you’re riding your bike down Central Avenue and you see a massive neon installation on the side of the road. You’ll experience that in real life in Bentonville because of The Collection.
The Collection brings amazing, museum-worthy paintings and installations to the most unexpected places in Northwest Arkansas. This museum-quality art, accessible in various public spaces, is beautifying our area and bringing into view important issues, such as diversity, gender equality, and racial equity. Through The Collection, art becomes a daily part of our lives and gives us the ability to see beyond our own views. We may seem like a small town, but we have a big appreciation for fine art. The Collection shares that with all of us.
Expect to see art in unexpected places as we bring nationally and internationally recognized artists to the Heartland and outside of museum walls. By bringing art into the community’s everyday rhythm, we create energy and vitality for people and places.
So, keep your eyes open. Wherever you are in NWA, The Collection just might be there with you.
