The Superstition Mountain Museum in Apache Junction presents a celebration of fine art from Mexico at a free three-day event March 14-16.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the museum grounds, patio and barn at 4087 E. Apache Trail (State Route 88) will be filled with some of Mexico’s finest artists. Meet potters, wood carvers and painters — many demonstrating their art and production techniques to visitors, according to a release.

Artists include Mata Ortiz potters Tavo Silvera, Manuel Rodriguez, Laura Bugarini and Hector Gallegos Jr. as well as Oaxacan painter-woodcarvers Julia Fuentes and Reina Ramirez. Visitors will be delighted with live demonstrations of their craft and a sale of their work. They have traveled many miles to exhibit here and include internationally-recognized, award-winning artists. Their work is sought after by collectors all over the world.

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

A fundraising event is also planned for 4:30-7 p.m. Saturday, March 8. Enjoy the majestic backdrop of the setting sun on the Superstition Mountain range by joining for an evening of live music performed by The Encore Quartet, food and fun conversation. Tickets are $30 per person/$50 per couple and are available in the gift shop or at https://superstitionmountainlostdutchmanmuseum.org. Funds are designated for updates on exhibits and signs in the museum and at the campus.

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 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
