Events for April 20, 2025

M|otherworlds is a group exhibition featuring regional Arizona artists who are also mothers. The work in the show centers on the transitional space of new parenthood during the first years of postpartum, also referred to as matrescence, or mother-becoming. The notion of transformation is echoed in the title of the exhibition. M|otherworlds references a surreal and unfamiliar experience. M|otherworlds is also about creation, the creation of a new reality, the creation of a new self. Themes of identity, caretaking and imaginative world building weave throughout the works in this exhibition.

Come check out what CUSD and Kyrene students have been up to with our 2025 Community Artists in Schools program! We matched four local artists with four schools across the two districts to work with their students this year. The resulting artwork expresses the new skills, creative methods, and thought processes the students learned with these teachers that enhanced their artistic development.

Stop by Vision Gallery to make tissue paper flowers and enjoy our current exhibit! Fold and cut colorful tissue paper to make beautiful blooms to take home. This is a free, self-led activity for all ages. Children are welcome to participate with assistance from an adult. Registering for a time slot helps us plan, but drop-ins are welcome!
