Create Playdate
Want 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!
Celebrate the work of 2025 Arizona Artist Awards recipient Christopher Ignacio, a renowned puppeteer, producer and educator. Ignacio uses movement, technology, and visual storytelling to explore identity and give it a voice. Inspired by his dynamic approach to performance, visitors are invited to interpret the meaning behind his work and create a unique figurative puppet for their own storytelling.
