Create Playdate | August 2025

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! 

Artists often use humor in their works of art to create a connection with the viewer. In The Self Help Library by Safwat Saleem, the artist creates a collection of oddly specific books he wishes had existed to guide him through certain parts of life. Using paper, colored pencils, and ribbon, visitors will create their own books with covers that reflect what is important to them in their lives. 

Create Playdate is included in general admission and no registration is required. Drop in any Saturday between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
