Join Us for a For Freedoms Community Conversation

In honor of the newest Crystal Bridges temporary exhibition, Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal… and the ongoing efforts of For Freedoms, Crystal Bridges and the University of Arkansas IDEALS Institute is presenting a series of four community conversations to deepen our understanding of issues affecting Northwest Arkansas communities.   

We invite you to participate in these conversations with a diverse group of local speakers including artists, city officials, and community leaders in the sharing of personal stories and work in relation to the topic. Each event will focus on one of the four freedoms, asking universal questions to spark conversation such as: "What does truth mean to you?  What does an adequate standard of living mean to you?  What does safety mean to you? What does love mean to you?"    

The stories shared in this program are meant to bring different voices from the community together in a shared non-partisan space. All are welcome to participate, and we ask you to come with a spirit of reciprocity. 

Details and locations are included below for each of the four community conversations (Feb. 29 and March 5, 12, and 19).  

Each event is free with online registration and registered attendees will receive a free admission ticket to Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal… The programs will be moderated by fellows from the University of Arkansas IDEALS Institute.
