From June 2025 to March 2026, Arizona Humanities will be hosting Spark! Places of Innovation, a Museum on Main Street exhibition organized by the Smithsonian Institute. Spark! will highlight stories of innovation in rural America from the perspective of the people who lived it. Their words, images, and experiences gathered through an ambitious crowdsourcing initiative will be the heartbeat of the exhibition. Technical, social, cultural, artistic, or a combination of all of these – every innovation is as unique as each community. In Arizona, it will be exhibiting in 6 communities, Camp Verde, Douglas, Ajo, Willcox, Tubac, and Yuma.  Explore the diversity, ingenuity, and tenacity of rural Americans in Spark! Places of Innovation. This project is sponsored in-part by the ASU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences – Humanities Division and the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona.
