Step into the world of “Grandma Moses: A Good Day’s Work,” the newest exhibition at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. Now open through March 29, this charming exhibition dives into the enduring legacy of Grandma Moses, one of the most iconic forces in American folk art.
Discover Her Inspiring Story
A self-taught painter, Anna Mary Robertson Moses spent much of her life working as a farmer and housekeeper. Then, at 80 years old, she stepped into the national spotlight with her first solo exhibition – becoming the cultural phenomenon known as “Grandma Moses.”
Her nostalgic scenes of farm life, seasonal celebrations, and everyday routines made her one of America’s most recognizable folk artists. Today, her story continues to challenge expectations of age, success, and memory.

Inside the exhibition, explore Grandma Moses’ charming paintings and step beyond the canvas to discover the rise that made her a media sensation.
