About The Event
About the Exhibit The original Resilience exhibit preserves stories of women who shaped Flagstaff through hardship, change, and care for their communities, from the 1880s onward. These women navigated economic uncertainty, social barriers, migration, discrimination, and loss while building lives, families, and institutions that held the town together.
Resilience Revisited extends this legacy by inviting contemporary artists to reflect on what resilience looks like today. This exhibition recognizes that resilience is not only an individual trait, but a collective practice rooted in community, memory, and lived experience. By placing new artistic responses alongside historical narratives, the exhibit creates a dialogue across generations. It honors the women whose stories were often excluded from traditional archives while making space for present-day voices to reflect on identity, perseverance, and belonging in Northern Arizona. Resilience Revisited asks us to see ourselves in the mirror of time and to consider how women continue to shape Flagstaff through leadership, creativity, and care.
Celebrate women in Northern Arizona with art, history, and more! After the opening reception, the exhibit will be up in the Historic Ice House for the month of April, open during regular business hours Monday - Friday.
