When Rez Dogs Howl: New Exhibit Opening at Pueblo Grande Museumhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/sedav-vaaki-museum/2347Pueblo Grande Museum5/11/2022 7:00:00 AMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2347/When-Rez-Dogs-newsroom.jpgWhen Rez Dogs Howl: New Exhibit Opening at Pueblo Grande Museum<div class="ExternalClass11364B31EC5740F180ED834C10E5ECEE"><html> <p> ​When Rez Dogs Howl is a new body of work by Thomas 'Breeze' Marcus. The exhibit explores the layers, complications, and duality of juxtaposing contemporary O'Odham with traditional narratives and ancestral ties to the Phoenix basin and throughout the Sonoran Desert. This exhibit was generously funded by the Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum. <br><br> Thomas 'Breeze' Marcus has been spray-painting large-scale murals throughout the City of Phoenix for nearly three decades. He is also a studio painter and has done work for various museum collections and exhibits throughout the country. Marcus' art is directly inspired by graffiti, public art, contemporary Native issues, and his Akimel and Tohono O'Odham heritage. By finding and creating parallels in his artwork, Marcus carries on a long lineage of creative and innovative history in the Phoenix area. <br><br> When Rez Dogs Howl will be on display at Pueblo Grande Museum from July 7, 2022 to May 14, 2023.<br><br> The public is invited to attend a free opening exhibit reception from 6 – 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 7 at <a target="_blank" href="/parks/arts-culture-history/pueblo-grande"> Pueblo Grande Museum.​<br> </a> </p> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/parks/arts-culture-history/pueblo-grandeNewspueblo-grande-museumPGM
Pueblo Grande Museum Launches Digital Exhibit for 90th Anniversaryhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/sedav-vaaki-museum/2304Pueblo Grande Museum4/7/2022 4:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2304/PGM-for-Newsroom.jpgPueblo Grande Museum Launches Digital Exhibit for 90th Anniversary<div class="ExternalClass818173E6033A492F96C40C0B0FC7E52A"><html>​​In 2019, Pueblo Grande Museum celebrated its 90th anniversary and created a three-location exhibit, showcased at Phoenix Airport Museum, The Gallery @City Hall, and Pueblo Grande Museum. <br><br>Like many archaeological museums of the early 20th century, Pueblo Grande Museum was established by archaeologists and enthusiasts who excavated, researched, and preserved Native American cultures as curiosities. Though the perspectives of the time now seem antiquated, the early work at Pueblo Gr​ande laid a foundation on which to build. <br><br>The location of the Museum within an archaeological site encourages partnerships between the City of Phoenix, archaeologists, and Native communities. We work together to tell the stories of Ancestral Sonoran Desert People in informative and compelling ways. Voted a Phoenix Point of Pride and listed as a National Historic Landmark, the Museum promotes preservation, education, and collaborative interpretation of the cultural history of the Phoenix area. <br><br><p><a target="_blank" href="/parks/arts-culture-history/pueblo-grande/exhibits/upcoming-exhibits">Explore this digital exhibit for more about Pueblo Grande Museum's extensive collections and history. ​</a><br></p><p><br></p></html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/parks/arts-culture-history/pueblo-grandeNewspueblo-grande-museumPGM
