Prints. People. Power

Clara M. Lovett Art Museum

September 15 - November 27, 2025

Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 - 5:00 PM

The Clara M. Lovett Art Museum at Northern Arizona University proudly presents Prints. People. Power., an exhibition celebrating the bold visual voices of artists from across the American southwest as well as Central and South America who harness the power of printmaking to address pressing social, political, and cultural issues while also celebrating our shared humanity. Featuring works from the museum’s permanent collection, we focus on artists from three organizations: the Taller de Grafica Popular (1937), the Movimiento Artistico del Rio Salado (1978), and the Arizona Print Group (1990s). The exhibition enables visitors to explore how artists utilize the democratic medium of print to amplify marginalized voices, inspire dialogue, and foster connections across borders.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.
