Foundry Art Centre – Crystal Bridges Museum Trip – August 24-25

The Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, Missouri is offering a special bus trip to visit the new Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas the weekend of August 24-25, 2013.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is America’s newest museum, opening its doors in November 2011. Founded by Alice Walton of Wal-Mart fame, the museum is already considered “in the top half-dozen of American art museums.” Crystal Bridges’ art collection offers a superb overview of American art including American masterworks as well as surprising, lesser-known gems from the Colonial era to contemporary work. Sculpture in the collection graces interior galleries and outdoor trails.

This weekend bus trip will also feature a stop-over in Springfield, Missouri to visit the Watercolor U.S.A Exhibition at the Springfield Museum of Art.

The price for this bus tour is $149 per person based on double occupancy (single occupancy is $195) and includes travel and hotel. Admission to both museums is free. Guests will be responsible for lunch and dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday.

LIMITED SPACE IS AVAILABLE – register now to secure your space at www.foundryartcentre.org!
