We create community and connection through art.

About Our Community Art Programs

Through our partnerships with agencies serving vulnerable populations, beginning and advanced artists of all ages work closely with Museum educators and professional artists to create original, expressive artwork that represents the diverse perspectives and shared experiences within our larger community. Through our work with groups such as Free Arts of Arizona and Hospice of the Valley, our community art programs have featured the work of unaccompanied and undocumented minors who have emigrated from Mexico and Central America, seniors living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and young Valley students working closely with professional artists to amplify their voice and share their experiences through art. Located in the Children’s Gallery in the Education Center, adjacent to the Museum, community art programs add new dimension to the experience of art at Phoenix Art Museum.
