Events for August 6, 2025

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.

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!
