Flowers of the Punjab: Textiles of India and Beyond highlights traditional textiles from the Punjab region of northwestern India. The motifs and patterns depicted are deeply personal, reflecting regional, familial, and social influences, and they are predominantly floral, geometric, and animal-themed. Inspired by these patterns, visitors will have an opportunity to weave their own paper textile artworks.

With more than 80 garments and accessories, Greatest Fits (Vol. 1): The Art of Archiving Fashion traces the evolution of the Phoenix Art Museum’s collection from its founding in 1966 to the present day. To highlight the vignettes of significant fashion “happenings” and themes, Arizona-based artist Stacey Eden has created wearable, metal art accessories. Using pipe cleaners and string, visitors will create their own wearable art accessories and find new ways to express themselves.
Create Playdate is made possible by The Discount Tire Endowment for Children’s Art Programs, and the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fund for Education Programs.
