February 2026
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.
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.
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.
