First Friday – CANCELLED

Highlight Event

In honor of our 90th anniversary, we will be partnering with Canyon Records for three First Fridays. Canyon Records of Phoenix, Arizona, producer and distributor of Native American music, is one of the oldest independent record labels in the music industry as well as one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Arizona.

Join us for live music from Southern Scratch throughout the evening in our Crossroads Gallery.Southern Scratch is headed by Ron Joaquin, son of legendary waila musician Angelo Joaquin, Sr. For more than 50 years the Joaquin name has been synonymous with the very best of waila – the popular dance music of the Tohono O’odham of the Sonoran desert.

 

CUT + Paste Phoenix will also be on site so come be inspired by waila and create you own collage!

The Museum’s Courtyard Café and Cantina will be open from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. serving up delicious food and libations inspired by Yosemite!
