The Spector Craft Summit

November 10–12, 2026
Crystal Bridges
Bentonville, Arkansas

Coming together

The Spector Craft Summit is an annual gathering held each year at our host museum, bringing established and emerging artists into conversation with curators, scholars, designers, collectors, and cultural leaders from across the country.

Over three days, participants share ideas and knowledge across generations and disciplines. As we partner with a new museum each year, the Summit moves with us—bringing new artists, institutions, collections, and local craft communities into the conversation.

There is extraordinary energy around craft across the country. The Summit brings these voices together—building relationships, sharing ideas, and creating a stronger collective voice for craft.
