Art Bridges CEO Anne Kraybill is coming to the Peoria Riverfront Museum, marking her first visit to Peoria, Illinois since she was appointed to her position in 2024.
Alice Walton’s Art Bridges Foundation has become the leading national partner of the Peoria Riverfront Museum, bringing extraordinary works of American art to Peoria through landmark exhibitions like American Revolutionaries: Art and Disruption, FRESH: New Directions in Contemporary Art, and current exhibition, Exquisite Creatures.
Now, experience the impact of that partnership up close. Join us for a special conversation with Anne Kraybill, CEO of Art Bridges, as she explores the power of expanding access to the arts, shares the vision behind Art Bridges’ mission, and reflects on why the Peoria Riverfront Museum has grown into one of their most dynamic collaborations. From earning the inaugural Bridgemaker Prize in 2025 to launching community-centered initiatives like Access for All free days, this partnership has opened new doors for audiences across Peoria to connect with world-class art in meaningful ways.
Kraybill is a respected leader in the national arts and cultural landscape, known for her deep commitment to the idea that art can enrich lives and strengthen communities. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the driving forces behind a movement to make art more accessible, and to gain fresh insight into how museums can serve and inspire their communities.
