About Alice
Northwest Arkansas is home, a truth that Alice Walton has never been confused about. Across many of her projects, she has sought to show others its beauty and value. Alice values the quality of life in Bentonville and enjoys time spent at Crystal Bridges, shopping at the local farmer’s market to cook a meal for family, joining community meetings alongside her neighbors, and finding joy in nature by hiking or casting a line on the region’s trails and streams.
Philanthropies Founded by Alice Walton
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art welcomes all to celebrate the American spirit in a setting that unites the power of art with the beauty of nature. Nestled on 120 acres of Ozark forest in Bentonville, Arkansas, the museum offers free admission to a world-class collection of American art, stunning architecture and five miles of sculpture and walking trails.
Founded in 2021, the School of Medicine will be a four-year, MD program that enhances traditional medical education with arts, humanities, and whole health principles. Pending accreditation, the School will be a national, state-of-the-art medical education facility located in Bentonville, Arkansas with the goal of welcoming its inaugural class in 2025.
Art Bridges Foundation’s mission is to get great works of American art out of storage and into communities. Through partnerships with museums of all sizes across the United States, it creates and supports arts programs that educate, inspire and deepen engagement with local audiences.
Founded in 2019, Heartland Whole Health Institute is a nonprofit that addresses physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being by working with health systems, partners, employers, and communities to redesign health care delivery.
