Create Playdate | July 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! 

Betsabeé Romero uses well-worn tires, symbolic of mobility and migration, in sculptures that refer to both contemporary life and art of the ancient Americas. Columna interminable features motifs associated with the Paracas (Peru), Aztec (Mexico), and Hohokam (Arizona) peoples. Romero reflects upon patterns of migration that long predate current geographic boundaries. Inspired by this sculpture, visitors will use scratch art paper to create their own patterns that reflect the past, present, and future.
