Alice Walton’s Crystal Bridges announces first design fellowship
Thanks to a fellowship from the Crystal Bridges Museum of America Art , developed by Alice Walton, daughter of the late Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, Minnesota-based architect and author Dale Mulfinger will develop his next book at the Writer’s Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, Ark.
Mulfinger, who has designed cabins throughout North America, will be the first Architecture and Design Fellow at the Writer’s Colony. He will begin his work on Nov. 12 through Dec. 9.
“Supporting designers and writers in significant fields of inquiry is precisely what this fellowship is designed to do,” said Lynn Berkowitz, director of learning experiences at Crystal Bridges. “We are thrilled to bring Dale Mulfinger to Arkansas.”
Located in Bentonville, Ark, Alice Walton developed Crystal Bridges to be a premier venue for a national art institution dedicated to American art and artists, and a place of learning and community. It houses art galleries, lecture and concert venues, meeting places, educational spaces and library resources.
The Crystal Bridges Museum of Art Architecture and Design Writing Fellowship offers qualified professionals a four-week residency to pursue writing projects with an emphasis on the fields of American architecture, landscape architecture, crafts and furnishings.
