March 2026
Featured artist Cara Romero showcases her photography in her exhibition Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light), which centers around narrative scenes of reclaiming Native American identity through the lens of Pop Culture and Indigenous futurisms. In honor of Cara’s work and in celebration of Women’s History Month, visitors will create a self-portrait with objects surrounding them to symbolize aspects of their identity.
APRIL 2026
Radical Clay is a contemporary ceramics exhibition which celebrates 36 female artists from Japan. The ceramic sculptures showcased in this exhibition explore form and textures outside the norm of “feminine” subject matter. Visitors will replicate these forms by creating their very own paper sculpture using various paper folding and twisting techniques, texture plates, colored pencils and tape.
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.
