SUMMARY:40 Years 40 Artists: An Anniversary Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the Museum’s 40th anniversary\, we are excited to announce this exhibition as a tribute to our collection. Throughout the past four decades\, we have diligently collected and preserved a diverse collection of artworks that encapsulates the cultural and historical significance of our region and the broader artistic community. Our collecting mission has been rooted in the belief that collecting art is not merely a task; it is a responsibility we hold for future generations. By ensuring that these works of art\, along with the narratives they convey\, remain accessible\, we are fostering a lasting connection between our community and the artistic expressions that define it. \nThis exhibition will not only showcase 40 exceptional artists but also feature a timeline that highlights significant events from the Museum’s history over the last 40 years. These artworks will spark memories of past shows\, programs\, and events\, allowing visitors to reflect on our history. \nWe invite you to explore these artistic contributions that resonate with our identity and inspire ongoing dialogue about our community’s journey. Join us in celebrating our past\, present\, and future as we honor the artists and stories that shape our collective experience. \nThis exhibition features old favorites\, never-before-seen artworks\, and recent acquisitions\, all from the Museum’s vault.

The Garden invites guests to engage with this distinctive art installation\, offering a captivating opportunity to reconnect with nature. \nExhibition unavailable during private events. \nMary Meyer is a sculptor and mixed media artist whose work utilizes systems of carved components that investigate the intimate connections between community and botanicals.

She completed her graduate studies at the University of Arizona\, where she received the MFA Fellowship for her work with large mixed media installations.

SUMMARY:Create Playdate
DESCRIPTION:Create Playdate \nWant to make art inspired by your favorite Phoenix Art Museum works on view? Create Playdate offers young artists a hands-on maker experience during their visit through our mobile\, in-gallery art cart. Each week’s Create Playdate offers a fresh and fun theme featuring an artwork on view\, an art making activity to do at the Museum\, and kids’ projects to extend the fun at home! \nCreate Playdate is included in general admission and no registration is required. Drop in any Saturday between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. \nMay 2025 \nSaturday\, May 3\, 10\, 17\, 24\, 31 | 11 AM – 3 PM \nInspired by the annual migration of monarch butterflies from Canada to Mexico\, Carlos Amorales conceived Black Cloud as a “swarm” of moths that take over museum spaces\, rising to envelop the viewer. Made up of 25\,000 black paper moths and butterflies of 30 different species\, the installation forms a surreal\, yet sublime gathering of insects delicately poised in sculptural formations. Visitors will create their own black paper moth and butterfly covered artwork. \nPrograms take place onsite in the galleries at Phoenix Art Museum. Create Playdate is free for members and included in general admission for the general public. \nCreate Playdate is made possible by First Things First\, The Discount Tire Endowment for Children’s Art Programs\, and the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fund for Education Programs.
