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

Places to support your local artisans

The Phoenix area is fortunate to have a number of shops offering unique, handcrafted items — some items quite affordable and some approaching art gallery prices. In many cases — icing on the cake — the items are locally made. I stopped by two shops in the last few weeks and within minutes of visiting … Continue reading Places to support your local artisans

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.

Seemed the right time for another selfie at “Big Sweep” - one of my very favorite spots in the Mile High City. RIP to the recently departed artist #claesoldenburg #denverpublicart #denverartmuseum #totalcoloradan #warbyparker
So fitting to see the work of @annielopezartist in the comprehensive exhibition “Traitor, Survivor, Icon: The Legacy of La Malinche” @denverartmuseum - a persuasive case thru historical and contemporary art to rise above all the long-held misogynistic and racist views of a famous woman in Mexican history. Annie receives a shout-out in an LA Times review of the show, which runs thru May 8. #annielopez #arizonaartists #lamalinche #traitorsurvivoricon #denverartmuseum
Although it was a very quick @scottsdale_artwalk on Main Street, I saw several wonderful pieces, including: “The Unbearable Lightness of Guide Dogs” by Kris Manzanares @roysecontemporary , “SB0318” by Kaori Takamura and “Searching for Connections 1” by Diane Silver, both @gebert_contemporary , “Traveling Whispers” by Jon Wassom @marshallgallery and a fun piece of sidewalk art. #scottsdaleart #krismanzanares #kaoritakamura #dianesilverstudio #jonwassomart #arizonaartists #minidesertvacay
I run into @angelaellsworth_studio in the most unexpected places! Here’s “Seer Bonnet XVIII (Ruth),” 2011, at the Palm Springs Art Museum—which is a compact but excellent space. Keeping Angela company in the Modern and Contemporary Art wing is a Maya Lin floor installation and on a nearby wall, a Mark Bradford. #angelaellsworth #arizonaartists #seerbonnets #palmspringsartmuseum #desertvacay
Same spot, almost exactly three years later. Still in Colorado! #differentsunglasses
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.
