ABOUT
The mission of Bradbury Art Museum is to holistically support the arts and art education our community by hosting rotating exhibitions from both local and national contemporary artists alongside accessible arts programming.
Bradbury Art Museum (BAM) is a contemporary art space on the campus of Arkansas State University. As the only art museum in northeast Arkansas, we believe in supporting the arts and art education in our region through a “whole body” approach. This means:
Exhibiting art from renowned contemporary artists whose work would otherwise be inaccessible to many community members and providing exhibition opportunities to the artists living and working in our community
Providing accessible programming free of charge within the museum walls and taking art programming out of the museum into community spaces
Organizing cross-campus collaborations for Arkansas State University students to enrich their educational experience and creating professional opportunities for art students after they graduate
Listening when our community tells us what they want to see and getting to share contemporary artistic innovations they never expected to see
