Upcoming Events

At the City of Chandler, we are fortunate to have myriad multi-talented individuals working all around us. While many of our coworkers’ skills are visible in the office, some talents are not as obvious. Off the Clock celebrates the artistic talents of our fellow City employees!

Remarkable Presence is an art installation by Jen Urso taking place at multiple locations across the Valley of small, numbered paper suitcases representing the total number of COVID-19 related deaths in Arizona.

Miguel Angel Godoy draws on his lifelong love of Hip Hop culture to create artworks that remix the familiar alphabet to find a deeper meaning in our words. In Abstracting Identity, Godoy creates his own visual language to communicate the complexities of being human and finding a space where we belong.

Experiment with powdered charcoal and alcohol ink! Miguel Angel Godoy will be leading a drawing class at the Chandler Museum for kids age 6 - 16 in conjunction with his exhibition Abstracting Identity at the Chandler Center for the Arts.

Floating between familiar animals and unknown species, the creatures depicted in Christy Puetz and Rebecca Blume Rothman’s work capture the viewer’s imagination. In this colorful, provocative exhibition, these artists skillfully twist nature into unusual situations, drawing out the peculiarities and similarities between humans and animals.

Stop by the terrace at the Chandler Center for the Arts for some outside, masked up, community chalk coloring with artist Christopher Jagmin!

On October 23, kids age 6-16 can join "Abstracting Identity" artist Miguel Angel Godoy for a special class all about hip-hop, movement, and most importantly, break dancing. Free to attend!
