Art Exhibits This Weekend
Phoenix is home to the largest art museum in the southwestern United States. Ignite your mind with the creativity and inspiration you will find at our local cultural institutions. Here's the art exhibits you can see this weekend:
Chicano/a/x Prints and Graphics: Selections from the Hispanic Research Center’s Collection, 1980–2010
Through June 29, 2025
Featuring over 30 artists who each offer a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the Mexican American experience, this year-long exhibition pays homage to the ideals of the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 70s and expands upon them through the widely disseminated medium of prints. Presented in two parts, this unique exhibition underscores how Chicano/a/x artists have employed prints and graphics to build community, engage with social concerns, and interrogate shifting notions of political and cultural identity over time.
José Villalobos: Rough Rider
Through July 20, 2025
“Rough Rider” marks the first U.S. solo museum presentation for the artist. It presents a diverse collection of newly created works from the artist’s residency with CALA Alliance in the Fall of 2024. The exhibition focuses on the spectacle of rodeo culture, addressing themes related to machismo, protection and gender. Practice barrels, ropes and flanks, all of which exude preconceived ideas of masculinity, are reinterpreted with a distinct flashiness to assert a tension between what it means to be masculine. Taken as a whole, “Rough Rider” asks us to consider how we exist within the parameters of socially constructed norms and those that endure outside of them.
Following Their Roots – Traditional Native American Farming in Arizona, Past and Present
Through July 31, 2025
This exhibit is all about exploring and celebrating the deep connections between Arizona’s Indigenous communities and their agricultural traditions, offering a rich historical perspective and a glimpse into the contemporary practices that sustain these cultural lifeways today. Discover how these communities have thrived for over 4,000 years, learn about farming practices unique to Arizona's diverse ecosystems, and dive into the important ongoing story of water rights in the Southwest. It is a fascinating journey through history, food, and culture that you won’t want to miss.

With interactive displays and fascinating stories, The Power of Poison is an engaging exhibition for all ages, making it a great experience for families and kids.
