Known for its award-winning exhibitions, the Heard Museum uses its collections and first-person voice to tell the stories of American Indian cultures while at the same time celebrates the diverse achievements of today's artists. Experience the Heard's 10 exhibition galleries that include both ongoing shows and changing exhibitions that feature an array of artists and art forms. | |
| Signature Exhibit | |
 | HOME: NATIVE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHWEST Artist voices combine with more than 2,000 of the museum's finest pieces to tell the stories -- past and present -- of Southwestern Native people. See a spectacular display of Hopi katsina dolls from the Sen. Barry Goldwater and Fred Harvey Company collections. A Navajo hogan, four video presentations, interactive sound and video stations, a media room and frequent artist demonstrations make this a must-see. Free guided tours. |
| Changing Exhibitions | |
 | ALLAN HOUSER: TRADITION TO ABSTRACTION At the Heard Museum through August 22, 2010. For the first time ever, see the breadth of Chiricahua Apache artist Allan Houser's work at two of the Valley's most prestigious attractions: the Heard Museum and the Desert Botanical Garden. This collaborative exhibition features large sculptures as well as paintings, drawings, sketches and smaller sculpture by one of the most important American artists of the 20th century. |
 | POP! POPULAR CULTURE IN AMERICAN INDIAN ART Opened April 16, 2010; on display through March 2011 Pop culture and innovation collide with traditional art forms and cultures in artwork that reflects contemporary issues and imagery in an often comedic, tongue-in-cheek way. Fashion, graffiti art, comics, pottery and beadwork are formats for contemporary American Indian artists who incorporate imagery from popular culture into their work. |
 | HOPI KATSINA DOLLS: 100 YEARS OF CARVING |
 | ARCTIC SPIRIT: INUIT ART FROM THE ALBRECHT COLLETION Through January 16, 2011 Explore 2,000 years of artistic creativity with wall hangings, prints, drawings, sculpture, clothing and more from the circumpolar region. Featured are more than 150 pieces drawn from the Dr. E. Daniel Albrecht Collection. The exhibit was organized by the Heard Museum, then traveled to nine museums and galleries throughout the United States and Canada. |
| Ongoing Exhibitions | |
 | WE ARE! ARIZONA'S FIRST PEOPLE Located in the Ullman Learning Center, this exhibit is the only gallery display in the state to include all 21 of Arizona’s federally recognized tribal communities. In their own voices, Arizona’s Native cultures explain their histories, cultures and futures. Children and kids-at-heart will love the interactive and hands-on take-home activities. |
 | EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY Explore seven regions and see how American Indian artists reflect their environments in their artwork in this interactive gallery perfect for families. Spot the different wildlife and vegetation illustrated in the artwork, then try your hand at making a hummingbird, bandolier bag, Northwest Coast button blanket, bow guard or Inuit felt design. It's fun for everyone! |
 | REMEMBERING OUR INDIAN SCHOOL DAYS: THE BOARDING SCHOOL EXPERIENCE Few people realize that American Indians were forced by the federal government to attend residential boarding schools located hundreds of miles from home. This powerful exhibit immerses visitors into the story, which draws on first-person recollections, memorabilia and the writings and art of four generations of Indian School alumni. |
 | AROUND THE WORLD: THE HEARD MUSEUM COLLECTION Tour the global span of the Heard’s collection with this exhibition of artwork by Native peoples of North and South America, Africa and Oceania. The exhibit features work collected by Dwight and Maie Heard and other significant donors, like Byron Harvey III, whose gifts have played a key role in shaping the museum’s collection. |
 | OLD TRADITIONS IN NEW POTS: SILVER SEED POTS FROM THE NORMAN L. SANDFIELD COLLECTION Taking inspiration from the long history of using ceramic vessels to store agricultural seeds, more than 70 American Indian jewelers have created contemporary miniature silver seed pots at the urging of collector Norman L. Sandfield. A selection of vessels donated by Sandfield can be seen in the Sandra Day O'Connor Gallery. |

Known for his dark, intense imagery, Minneapolis-based artist Chris Mars has established himself as one of the leading artists in the “Low-Brow” movement. A self-taught artist, Mars often considers himself an “outsider” and empathizes with individuals who are viewed as “the other” or labeled “the outcast.” He explores challenging topics like prejudice, xenophobia, exploitation and redemption, depicting his characters in macabre play like settings. Featuring over thirty oil paintings, Only Tenants Reside showcases Mars' most recent work.
2AM-2PM is part of Justin Stewart's current sculptural series, which represents a three-dimensional model of the Sunday Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Transit System. Through a series of suspended wood balls, copper rods, weights and blue threads, Stewart tries to make visual sense of a complex, and often times, confusing world.
Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Vincent Valdez uses charcoal to capture a gritty boxing match. His Stations series is based on the Catholic account of the Stations of the Cross, which traditionally represents the final hours or "Passion" of Christ. In his large-scale drawings, Valdez's boxer represents the struggles we encounter in our own lives.
Since 1959, the Arizona Designer Craftsmen organization has remained a proponent of established and emerging artists, fostering and advancing contemporary crafts related activities in Arizona. Representative of traditional craft mediums including ceramics, fibers, basketry, metals, wood, glass, jewelry, papermaking and book arts, this exhibition celebrates this landmark anniversary through the work of 50 local artists.
