First Friday Exhibition Opening – Meryl McMaster: Bloodline

5:00 pm to 9:00 pm

On Friday, October 4, 2024, the Meryl McMaster: Bloodline exhibition will have its US debut at the Heard Museum in the Virginia G. Piper Grand Gallery. Bloodline features the pioneering large-scale photographic works of Canadian artist Meryl McMaster (b. 1988), reflecting her mixed nêhiyaw (Plains Cree)/Siksika, Dutch, and British ancestry. 

Along with being the first in Phoenix to experience this memorable exhibition, guests will have the opportunity to meet the artist and engage with a family-friendly photography based interactive activity. The Coffee Cantina will be open late with a delicious selection of food and drinks, and, as always, admission to the Heard will be FREE.
