Exhibitions & Artist Receptions

Family-Friendly Events

This December we are taking a break from "Tote-and-Go" services.  If you are looking for a family-friendly event that includes crafts, please consider attending Parks and Rec's event called Noche de Fiesta.  Mesquite Arts Council has donated "create your own frame" kits to the event.  These can be found in the "arts and crafts" section of the festival.
