First Friday in August

Beat the Heat!

Bring the whole family out to see the Heard Museum’s galleries with free general admission* and enjoy activities, music, food and more in the Central Courtyard.

Andria Bunnell of La Luz de le Luna will play Spanish guitar and serenade visitors while strolling through the museum – a perfect way to experience Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera!

Los Saguaritos, the beginning mariachi ensemble from Harmony Project Phoenix, will perform at 7:30 pm in the Crossroads Gallery. Harmony Project is a research-based mentoring program that uses music as a means of positive youth development and social inclusion.

Join the Museum’s Education staff in the O’Connor Gallery and Steele Auditorium to create colorful tissue paper flowers. Additional music, art activities with Cut + Paste PHX and a cash bar will also be in Steele Auditorium.

Finally, there is no better way to “Beat the Heat” this First Friday at the Heard than with Paletas Betty who will be selling their delicious handmade Mexican pops and beverages in the central courtyard!

*General admission to the museum is free but Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is a specially ticketed exhibition and is still subject to a $7 charge per person. There are no ticket sales after 9:30 p.m.
