Scottsdale is lighting up the art scene again

Kudos to downtown Scottsdale for shaking off the summer doldrums this weekend and reemerging as a great place to see visual art. November 7-10, 2013, was the city’s second annual Fall for the Arts, a chance for the more than 100 galleries in the vicinity of Main Street and Marshall Way to open their doors … Continue reading Scottsdale is lighting up the art scene again

Phoenix art shows: Get ’em while it’s not too hot

This is usually the time of year that visual arts events in the Phoenix area come to a crescendo just before the summer doldrums set in. Consequently, there’s lots going on at the museums and galleries and at outdoor events — a kind of full bloom of art, before heat withers the petals. I get … Continue reading Phoenix art shows: Get ’em while it’s not too hot

Old Town Scottsdale was a-glitter

Old Town Scottsdale was a-glitter

It’s just so pleasant to get back into art-strolling nights, and Old Town Scottsdale knows how to put on an art show. Last night, October 18, launched the 38th year of the city’s Thursday-evening art walk, which is hard for even an old-timer like me to believe. To celebrate, the gallery community kicked it up … Continue reading Old Town Scottsdale was a-glitter

"Almost a native" goes the saying if you have lived in Phoenix for a good chunk of your life. That's me -- a desert rat -- and my experiences as a writer and editor have led me to believe that our local art scene is highly underrated. This website might not remedy that, but it will introduce readers to museums and galleries and art in public spaces -- all around our beautiful desert Valley.

It’s gonna take a lot of work to unify our country. Learn about one Arizona artist’s efforts to foster civility, compassion and courage through a massive participatory textile art project. See the article on my website Explore Art: Denver. #thevioletprotest #annmorton #textileart #publicengagementart #socialpracticeart #peacefulprotest
Amid all the math-based hard-edge geometric abstractions in “Clark Richert in hyperspace” @mca_denver it was a treat to come across this work by Karen McClanahan from Clarkdale AZ in the complementary show “The Nth Dimension.” McClanahan veers from straight lines to suggest landscapes, and this double canvas “Mug Shot (blue #001) brought me right back to Arizona. #karenmcclanahan #clarkrichert #geometricabstraction #mcadenver #arizonalandscapes
The Suhas Bhujbal show “Summer” struck me as quite resonant as the season winds down, especially this oil on canvas “Market No. 11,” with its interplay of light and shadow as it captures a crowded scene. A worthwhile stop along Laguna Beach’s gallery row. #suhasbhujbal #suegreenwoodfineart #summersend #lagunabeach #exploringorangecountyart
“Yearning to Breathe Free” by Nery Gabriel Lemus is a succinct but powerful installation that juxtaposes the famous Emma Lazarus / Statue of Liberty sonnet with the struggles of today’s immigrants and the accompanying charged dialogue. @nerygabriellemus uses watercolor portraits, sculptures and rugs to tell highly humanistic stories. Continuing thru Sept. 16. #nerygabriellemus #grandcentralartcenter #yearningtobreathefree #immigration #exploringorangecountyart
Recognize the famous piece of public art behind me? It’s “Big Sweep” (2006) by Coosje van Bruggen and Claes Oldenburg right outside @denverartmuseum. C’mon over to @deborahross5280 to follow my explorations of the art scene in the Mile High City and beyond. #bigsweep #oldenburg #publicart #denverartmuseum #denverartscene
Couldn’t resist the timing: Happened to see a small pop-up show called “Heroes and Villains.” And the season finale of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is tonight. Kaitlin Zeismer created these acrylic gouaches on paper, “Blessed Be the Fruit” and “F*** This.” Dystopia meets folk tale. #handmaidstaleseason2 #heroesandvillians #graphicart #denverartists #cooperanddash
