Create Playdate | November 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!
Mike Mandel’s Baseball Photographer Trading Cards takes a unique approach to a standard deck of trading cards by featuring photographers, rather than famous athletes, on each card. For the series, Mandel shot some of the most renowned photographers of the twentieth century, including Imogen Cunningham, Ed Ruscha, and even Ansel Adams. Inspired by this sense of play and imagination, visitors will create their own trading cards using polaroid film and art materials to highlight what is special about them.
Create Playdate is included in general admission and no registration is required. Drop in any Saturday in November.
