Stephens is a proud sponsor of Williams Racing, one of the most iconic teams in Formula 1. We view that partnership, like all our partnerships, as built on trust with shared values. That relationship has created a fantastic opportunity for another Stephens partner, the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts (AMFA), which is currently hosting the exhibit Beyond the F1 Circuit: Artistry and Speed with Williams Racing Presented by Stephens . We are thrilled to deliver a unique experience with our amazing partners and to, again, demonstrate the Stephens vision of a connected world with limitless possibilities. We hope you enjoy the film and encourage those of you in central Arkansas to see the exhibit at AMFA. https://bit.ly/3TCK0FU
