MoAD will celebrate the national observance of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday as a Day of Service, providing FREE admission to the museum and programs throughout the day.
Through film, art, performance and dance, our special guests will help us reflect on the importance of protest, creativity and diverse communities. Destiny Arts Junior Company presents an interactive hip hop performance, and we will screen Roger Ross Williams' groundbreaking documentary film STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING (2023, 91 minutes) based on the book by Ibram X. Kendi, followed by a discussion about Civil Rights, the law, and reparations. A family art activity and gallery scavenger hunt connects families to our current exhibitions -- JoeSam.: Text Messages, Spectrum: On Color and Contemporary Art, Lishan AZ: Eugene's Cove and our digital exhibition The Only Door I Can Open: Women Exposing Prison Through Art and Poetry. Come together to celebrate the life and achievements of one of our nation's greatest heroes.
