our renovation is underway!
Demo began on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 and that means HMA is hitting the road—bringing creativity and art experiences out into the community! While the building undergoes its exciting transformation, you’ll still find us in new places, popping up with programs, classes, and events that keep the arts alive and accessible for everyone. Visit our HMA On the Go Satellite Museum at Valley Hills Mall! Follow us on social media and check our website for the latest updates, class info, and event details.
