The Portal: An Art Experience by Jewel

Presented as a collaboration between Jewel and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, The Portal (2025) featured one-of-a-kind, 200-piece aerial drone show choreographed by Jewel and set to an original score by the artist, a meditative art walk featuring works by prominent contemporary artists, a never-before-seen painting and sculpture by Jewel, and chef-crafted dining options as part of a complete experience for the body, mind, and spirit.

From the seven-foot hologram of Jewel welcoming you to the experience to the culminating choreography over the museum’s central pond, each element of the experience invited us to explore Jewel’s concept of the Three Spheres of human existence: the inner world, outer world, and the unseen world.

Encompassing our experiences of mind, body, and spirit, Jewel meticulously crafted each aspect of The Portal to harmonize the Three Spheres, creating a dynamic space and experience where inner thoughts, external actions, and hidden emotions converge.

Innovative, transformative, and just plain fun, The Portal hosted a moving, restorative experience unlike any other at Crystal Bridges.
