Description

The Carver Museum is a privately managed institution that depends primarily on the support of its visitors, donors and partners to remain open and free to the public. Though there is no charge for admission, your donation will play a key role in ensuring we remain open and with free admission for all our visitors. Celebrating Over 90 Years of Service
The Carver Museum has been and will continue to be a positive force for diversity and inclusion within Arizona and beyond. For nearly twenty years we have provided educational opportunities to the community. We recently took significant measure to broaden our cross-cultural ventures and expand community partnerships to ultimately present an extensive offering of programs that edify, educate and entertain.
