The Art Institute at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum proudly presents the 2025 Spring Student Exhibition, showcasing the creativity and talent of our students. This exhibition highlights artwork from beginner to advanced students, reflecting their growth, dedication, and deepened connection to the desert’s unique flora and fauna.

Summer's just around the corner, which means Summer Camp enrollment is open! Adventure awaits in the desert! Explore the Sonoran Desert, create cool art, and discover hidden treasures at the Museum. Meet live critters, get messy with hands-on activities, and learn from Desert Museum scientists along the way. Plus, chill out in the Packrat Playhouse.

This art exhibition is a journey into seeing and honoring animals in death, tending to them with love, and recognizing them as kin. Through photographs, paintings, writing, sculpture and installation, Amanda Stronza, Rachel Ivanyi, and Hannah Salyer find beauty in stillness and create art from loss. All who share in the circles of life, death, and renewal are invited to join us!
