Create Playdate: Talavera Tiles

About this event

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! In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are celebrating the traditional Mexican art of Talavera pottery, inspired by local artist Gennaro Garcia. His work Mexico in Danger of Extinction (2025) is a stunning hand-painted vessel depicting four women who represent different regions of Mexico. To honor his practice and its connection to traditional Talavera painting, visitors will design a Talavera tile of their own. Create Playdate is included in general admission and no registration is required. Drop in any Saturday between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Please purchase General Admission HERE. Programs take place onsite in the galleries at Phoenix Art Museum. Create Playdate is free for members and included in general admission for the general public.
