State of the Art

The ultimate State of the Art experience: artist interviews, lectures, and more.

In 2013, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s curatorial team hit the road to investigate what’s happening in American art today. Over the course of a year, the team logged more than 100,000 miles, crisscrossing the United States to visit nearly 1,000 artists. Traveling to communities large and small, the Museum sought out artists whose work has not yet been fully recognized on a national level. The result is a one-of-a-kind exhibition of more than 100 artists that draws from every region of the US, offering an unprecedented exploration of the power of today’s American art.

The State of the Art app includes high-resolution images, label copy, and audio or video clips featuring the exhibition artists. It’s the ultimate State of the Art experience with a full listing of exhibition events, recordings of lectures and talks, blog posts and more.
