7:15 PM – 8:45 PM | The Private Showcase:

Lucy Sparrow’s first U.S. museum exhibition, The Beginning of Convenience, recreates a 1980s–90s supermarket with more than 20,000 handcrafted felt products. The exhibition also offers a behind-the-scenes look at Sparrow’s creative process through a replica of her studio and a self-produced documentary.

Located in the heart of Bentonville, The Momentary is a one-of-a-kind destination where contemporary art, live music, food, and community come together. Housed inside a transformed former cheese factory, this creative space features immersive exhibitions, performances, festivals, and unexpected experiences around every corner.

The Momentary is designed to be experienced—not just visited. As an extension of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, it brings an energetic, modern side of Bentonville’s arts scene to life, with free general admission making it an easy addition to your day.
