Featured exhibitions:

• Cooperative Craft: Artmaking of the Mingei Movement
  Discover the beauty of everyday objects through the lens of Japan’s Mingei Movement, featuring works by Hamada Shoji, Kawai Kanjiro, and others. This exhibition, running through July 13, 2025, celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability and global connections with featured works by Liu Shiming.
• José Villalobos: Rough Rider
  Experience the first U.S. solo museum exhibition by multidisciplinary artist José Villalobos.  “Rough Rider” delves into the spectacle of rodeo culture, taking the sport as a point of departure to address themes related to machismo, protection and performing gender, while situating these issues within the vibrant contexts of metropolitan Phoenix. Runs through July 20th, 2025.
• Chicano/a/x Prints and Graphics: Selections from the Hispanic Research Center’s Collection, 1980–2010
