BECOME A SPONSOR

SPONSOR AN EXHIBIT
We are seeking exhibit sponsors as we develop our museum space. These exhibits...
  • create a safe and nurturing place to play
  • engage kids in informal STEAM learning
  • integrate play with cultural learning
  • encourage community connection
Some exhibit ideas we'd love to discuss sponsorship for include:
a craft table covered with string, feathers, buttons, and other miscellaneous crafting supplies

Loose Parts & Arts Lab

In the lab, children can access art supplies and loose parts (i.e., wooden spools or popsicle sticks) to build, sculpt, paint, and design their ideas. Children can use the color wheels to experiment with mixing hues. They can hop on the pottery wheel or paint on the easels.

$8,000

The iiná of wool

This locally designed exhibit demonstrates how Navajo weavers use wool to make extravagant tapestries. Children can card, spin, and weave using a Navajo loom. Children can design patterns, experiment with natural dyes, and take care of sheep.

$65,000

Light Lab 2.0

The Light Lab shares the magnificent power of light.  Help us develop our current Light Lab exhibit by adding additional exhibit components such as light and mirror tables, a topographical sandbox, a fiber optics exhibit, and a laser light table. 

$12,000

COLOR RUN SPONSORSHIP

Each year, we host events designed to create community and invite people to become involved.

These events are sponsored by community businesses, and are free or low cost to attend so that everyone can join in the fun.

 

On May 4, 2024, we held a Color Run fundraiser, hosted at Hózhó Academy. 

 

We are planning a second Color Run to be hosted at Rehoboth Christian School on May 10, 2025.
