The Gallery at CCA 250 North Arizona Avenue, Chandler

Shaunté Glover has a strong rapport with her subjects. Her photographs feel comfortable and casual, but not careless – her subjects trust her, because she cares deeply for the people and places depicted here. She sees them – drinking, thinking, looking out, looking in, looking back – and is asking you to see them, too. Shaunté Glover has a BFA in photography from ASU, and is a commercial and fine art photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona.

😄 "So Fun! An Exploration of Maximalism" will be on display August 23 - November 2, 2025

Opening Reception
📆 Friday, August 22
⏰6-8 pm
📍Vision Gallery, 10 E Chicago St, Chandler, AZ 85225

🤩 Born out of a rebellion against the Minimalist art movement, contemporary Maximalism counters the prejudice of high culture. From Yayoi Kusama’s polka dots to Kehinde Wiley’s portraits, this complex mode of creation has been used by artists and creatives over the decades to express themselves and transform the historical understanding of maximalist craft. The artists in this exhibition create transformative environments, explore femininity and queerness, celebrate the impact of internet culture, breathe new life into second-hand objects, and recontextualize the legacy of maximalism. Behind the tacky smiley faces, flashy flowers, and bright colors, in this exhibition there are deeply personal, social, and cultural topics being explored that challenge the perception of this playful aesthetic. Through the use of color, pattern, and repetition, “So Fun!” creates an environment rich in storytelling, self-expression, and empowerment that embodies the joyful spirit of the aesthetic of excess.

🎨 Participating artists: Lex Gjurasic (@lexgjurasic) , Sarah Hurwitz (@chocowitz) , Sofie Ramos (@sssofie), Emily Spetrino, and Chloe Torri (@chloetorriart)

💐 Con cariño siempre: Ariana Enriquez
📅 August 9 - November 8, 2025
📍 The Gallery at CCA, 250 North Arizona Avenue, Chandler, AZ 85225
🎉 Opening Reception: Friday, August 8, 5-7pm. RSVP at our link in bio!

Within the Mexican culture, there is believed to be two deaths–the first is when you physically pass away and the second is when you have been forgotten by the living. Wanting to preserve the legacy of the strong women in her family, muralist and artist, Ariana Enriquez set out to tell their stories in the best way she knew how— through her artwork. However, in order to truly celebrate these women, she would need to first delve deeper into her family’s history. Armed with pen and paper, Enriquez sat down at her Yoya’s (great aunt) table with her relatives. Her family members shared some truly incredible stories about the acts of service, kindness, and compassion that have been passed down through the generations. So often, people want to discuss generational trauma, but what about generational joy and the positivity and unity that can be passed down through the generations? This undercurrent of love and strength is something that Enriquez had felt her whole life but never quite understood how it had manifested in her family. It was then that she realized that these acts of love are the bedrock of her familial bonds.

For Con cariño siempre, Enriquez creates a visual love letter to her family. Drawing from her practice of using fauna and flora as symbolism, Enriquez created large scale installations that not only celebrate the women in her family but also highlight the love languages expressed throughout the years. By visually telling the stories of her ancestors, Enriquez aims to keep their memories alive long after they are gone.

🚨Call for Work - Art Quilts 30: Palette Cleanse

🚨Call for Work - Art Quilts 30: Palette Cleanser!
Deadline: Monday, September 12, 2025. Link in bio!

For our milestone 30th annual Art Quilts exhibition, we invite fiber artists to explore the power of minimalism. With the constant onslaught of news media around us, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from the world around us. As a respite from these intense narratives, exploring minimalism through art offers a refreshing ✨Palette Cleanser✨, inviting us to reflect on simplicity in a chaotic world.

Maybe your best work is known for its clean lines or its geometric shapes. Do you use a limited or monotoned color palette? Does negative space play a big role in your art? However you use minimalism in your art quilts, we want to see your submissions for the 30th Annual Art Quilt exhibition. This exhibition will take place at the Vision Gallery.
