Explore art, history and contemporary issues with a live tour through the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. Go on a live journey of the museum galleries with long time staffer, Marcus Monenerkit.

With 23 years of experience Marcus Monenerkit is still energized about the universal constructive possibilities for American Indian Art. Beginning in 1996 at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian, Monenerkit has continually made efforts to create more awareness and recognition related to the purposefulness of art and culture in American Indian communities. Currently, Director of Community Engagement at the Heard Museum, his main focus is producing cultural art workshops in regional Indian communities, documenting the process where permissible, and sharing with the broader American public through special films and lectures.

The Heard Museum, founded in 1929, is dedicated to the advancement of American Indian art, the stories of American Indian people from a first-person perspective, as well as exhibitions that showcase the beauty and vitality of traditional and contemporary art.
