Building Bridges: A Conversation with Justice Amy Coney Barrett

As part of Crystal Bridges’ year-long celebration of America at 250, the Building Bridges series honors the American spirit of meeting in the middle with curiosity, courage, and care. Hosted by Board Chair Olivia Walton, the series brings together thought leaders, artists, and thinkers with differing perspectives to model civic dialogue and the power of meaningful questions.

From our home in Bentonville, Arkansas, we invite our neighbors and the nation to gather at our bridge: a place that connects what is divided and carries us forward together. Amy Coney Barrett, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, joins Olivia Walton to explore how civil disagreement sustains democracy. They will discuss how respect, intellectual rigor, and adherence to process guide judicial decision-making, and why these principles matter to every citizen. The conversation will also highlight how the American legal system is structured to accommodate differing viewpoints while upholding shared rules and institutions.

Tickets are $50 ($40/members). Reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
