Create Playdate

Details

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!

Portraits often show us what a person looks like, but they can also capture an idea of a person and what's important to them. Portraits can tell us how a person wants to be seen by capturing a mood or moment in time they are experiencing. Using colored pencils and paper frames, visitors will draw their own self-portrait, or a portrait of a family member or friend, highlighting the characteristics that make them unique. Visitors will then decorate their portrait frame, inspired by the elaborate frames found across the galleries.

Create Playdate is included in general admission and no registration is required.
