Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR

The Arkansas-filmed episodes of America’s Forests with Chuck Leavell will be premiered in free, back-to-back screenings Thursday, April 21, in Fayetteville and Bentonville. These half-hour episodes highlight what’s exceptional about Arkansas through interviews with an array of stakeholders in the forest culture and economy in regions around the state.

A screening event for the University of Arkansas campus community will be held from 12:30 to 2 p.m. April 21 in Vol Walker Hall. A public screening event will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. that day at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. There is no cost to attend the Crystal Bridges event; registration is available at: https://crystalbridges.org/calendar/april-film-americas-forests/

These screenings are presented through a collaboration between the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design, Crystal Bridges, and the producers of America’s Forests with Chuck Leavell. Each event will include a conversation with Leavell, as well as a short performance of music from his career. Each event also will include a screening of a 30-minute version of the documentary Chuck Leavell: The Tree Man, which shows how Leavell divides his talents between music, forests and family.
