In addition to her iconic pictures for magazines like Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and Vogue, the show includes a set of exciting new works made for Crystal Bridges—Leibovitz’s first museum commission.
Whether highlighting household names or local heroes, these pictures demonstrate Leibovitz’s discerning vision and desire to celebrate people of the extraordinary now. Each photograph is part of a larger story. When placed together, these pictures take you on a journey through five decades of Leibovitz’s celebrated career, offering a dynamic peek into the artist’s contemporary practice and focus.
This fall is your last chance to experience Listening Forest before it’s gone for good.

The forest’s eight interactive installations, each designed by artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and activated by you, invite visitors to play with tools built for surveillance and transform them into instruments of connection. Set to a custom soundtrack composed by electronic musician Scanner (Robin Rimbaud) and open during the Ozarks’ best season, this really is an outdoor experience unlike any in Arkansas.
