The Superstition Mountain Museum, 4087 E. Apache Trail (State Route 88) in Apache Junction, presents a celebration of fine art from Mexico at a free three-day event 9 a.m.-4 p.m. March 8-10.

The museum grounds, patio and barn will be filled with some of Mexico’s finest artisans. Meet potters, wood carvers and painters, a weaver and a silversmith — many demonstrating their art and production techniques to visitors, according to a release.

Artists include Mata Ortiz potters Laura Bugarini, Octavio “Tavo” Silvera and Hector Gallegos Jr. as well as Oaxacan painter-woodcarvers Julia Fuentes, Jose Juan Melchor, Reina Ramirez, Oaxacan silversmith Yesenia Salgado and Zapotec master weaver Porfirio Gutierrez. Visitors will be delighted with live demonstrations of their craft and a sale of their work, the release states.

This free event is family-friendly and educational, offering photographic and shopping opportunities. Parking is also free for visitors.

A fundraising event is also planned for 4:30 p.m. Friday, March 8. The museum welcomes sculptor, muralist, storyteller and performance artist Zarco Guerrero for a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) presentation. Expect hilarious and moving tales, with original characters including: the poetry spouting “El Vato Poeta,” the flirtatious “La Comadre,” the clueless “Special Ed,” the wise “El Abuelito,” and other beloved roles that Zarco has created. The Mariachi Rubor is also scheduled to add to this celebration of culture. Reservations and tickets are required for this event. Email giftshop@superstitionmountanmuseum.org or call 480-983-4888 to sign up.

The museum is on a 12-acre site just beneath the west end of Superstition Mountain and is loaded with historical buildings and artifacts pertaining to the history of the Lost Dutchman Mine and of the area. It is run by the nonprofit Superstition Mountain Historical Society and is open daily from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
