The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is celebrating Black History Month in February with programs and events dedicated to celebrating the amazing contributions that Black people make to our society and communities. Throughout the month, visitors will be able to find music, art, books, and activities celebrating Black history including artist Aaron Allen Marner’s first solo Museum exhibit, “The Language of Flowers”.
A native Phoenician, Aaron’s approach to portrait and figurative painting ranges from using collage style, vibrant, colorful, hues while often adding geometric shapes and aspects of nature, giving views a sense of abstraction and surrealism. The purpose of his work often is to convey his experiences and give viewers a sense of power and emotion. His mission is to inspire youth as well as anyone who dreams of becoming an artist.
“The Language of Flowers” will be on view at the Museum February 8th through March 6th.
