January 2025

Saturday, January 4, 11, 18, 25* | 10 AM – 2 PM

Cannupa Hanska Luger’s Incendiary (2023) is a vibrantly colored, large-scale tipi work from a recent series that explores the adaptability and versatility of the nomadic structure as a metaphor for the resilience of Indigenous peoples in the face of settler-colonial violence. The painted and shaped canvas is a significant addition to the Museum’s contemporary art collection and furthers the Museum’s efforts to collect and display art that reflects a diversity of voices from the Southwest region and Arizona. Using the shapes provided, visitors will create their own collage design inspired by Incendiary and the moments that have shaped them. 

Programs take place onsite in the galleries at Phoenix Art Museum. *The January 25 Create Playdate is included in the Amplified Vol. 4 admission price with discounted tickets available for PhxArt Members.

Create Playdate is made possible by First Things First, The Discount Tire Endowment for Children’s Art Programs, and the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fund for Education Programs.
