Embark on an epic road trip across America in pursuit of artistic excellence. The curatorial team behind the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art embarked on a 100,000-mile journey to uncover 100 under-recognized American artists and their extraordinary works of contemporary art, taking them from the woods of North Carolina to the rivers of New Orleans. Along the way, they discovered hidden gems in unexpected places, ultimately leading to a groundbreaking exhibition of 227 remarkable pieces that would have otherwise gone unseen.
