The architecture and outdoor spaces are Cheri and Rick’s favorites. Great landscaped walking trails lead to downtown Bentonville with lots of fun art along the way.

The exhibit is June 3 – August 14 and features works of Chihuly art ‘In the Gallery’ and ‘In the Forest’. You do need to purchase a ticket for the special exhibit, it is $20.
