Why Explore Bentonville’s Art by Bike?
Bentonville is built for everyone with an adventurous spirit, and the Bentonville Bikeable Art Tour offers a unique way to see the city’s creative landscape while enjoying the outdoors.
“Having works of art woven throughout the fabric of our community is super cool. It adds a sense of vibrancy to Bentonville,” said Tom Hoehn, Public Art Advisory Committee member and guide of the tour. “Great art plus a bike? C’mon, what’s not to like about that?”

The tour highlights a selection of murals, sculptures, and installations from both local and international artists. TrailPilot’s audio narration offers background on the works, local insights, and the history behind Bentonville’s evolving art scene.
Hoehn encourages visitors to explore beyond the museums:
“Art is infused throughout Bentonville – be sure to visit Crystal Bridges and The Momentary, but also check out art in the parks, trails, and in surprising places. And, of course, use the TrailPilot Art Ride to make that easy!”
