Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, has announced a $10 million gift from the Pamela and Wayne Garrison Family Foundation.

The gift will support family experiences, including programs, interactive art installations, and activities that are designed to be appealing for all ages and explore art, spark imagination, and celebrate joy among multigenerational families. In recognition of the gift, the museum's newly renovated lobby area will be named the Pamela and Wayne Garrison Family Foundation Lobby.

"This generous gift from Wayne, Pam, and Alexandra embraces Crystal Bridges mission of welcoming all — and especially welcoming families to have fun together," said Crystal Bridges board chair Alice Walton. "It's fitting that the lobby is named for this family who cares deeply about the positive role of the museum in our community."

"We are thrilled thinking about the number of families that will benefit from these kinds of experiences, and we know that Crystal Bridges, which has been offering great family experiences for a decade, will continue to spark imagination and exploration through art in creative ways," said Alexandra Garrison Neville. "We look forward to watching families have life-changing experiences at Crystal Bridges."
