Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum celebrates the opening of five new free spring exhibitions exploring the depth and diversity of contemporary craft, alongside a season of free public programs designed to engage audiences of all ages. On view are “Soundcraft,” “Crafting Legacy: Honoring Arizona Veteran Artists,” “Beyond Tradition: Selections from the MCA Permanent Collection,” Ann Morton’s “Hook, Line and Sinker” and the “47th Annual Juried Contemporary Crafts” exhibition.
The spring 2026 season is presented as part of Craft in America’s national “Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026” initiative, a year-long Semiquincentennial collaboration highlighting the importance of handmade work throughout American history and in contemporary life. Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum has dedicated its entire spring season to craft, elevating compelling stories and underrepresented artists and traditions. Visitors can also experience a special February event with artist-in-residence Ehren Tool at the One East Pop-Up, located across from the museum.
Join MABEL artists-in-residence Amanda and Eli McGlothern for a hands-on postcard printing experience, creating personalized postcards that invite you to slow down, reflect and reconnect through art, words and shared moments.
The free opening reception on Fri, Feb 13, 2026, from 7:00–10:00 PM, includes musical entertainment by DJ CRVNT3S, light refreshments and a cash bar.
