About Crystal Bridges

The mission of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is to welcome all to celebrate the American spirit in a setting that unites the power of art with the beauty of nature. Our vision is to activate an institution that transforms lives through experiences that encourage the discovery of new ideas, expanded dreams and inspired actions.

Culture Pillars

Each one of us is a vital component of this team, empowered and responsible for fulfilling the mission and vision.

We are united in our purpose and in our obligation to act respectfully and with integrity.

• We listen actively and speak honestly
• We honor our commitments
• We champion lifelong learning
• We are unstoppable when we work together

Crystal Bridges is committed to creating an institution that reflects the diversity of our region and nation. We are especially mindful of those in our community impacted by inequity due to ability, language, class, age, gender, religion, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and are working diligently to address perceived and real barriers that keep anyone from fully experiencing the museum as a guest, volunteer, or employee. To achieve our goals, we must have a diverse, highly qualified team dedicated to:

• providing an unparalleled guest experience for all,
• offering relevant programs,
• developing an inclusive collection,
• demonstrating progressive leadership
