Events for July 19, 2025

Grief is a messy, complicated and sometimes beautiful part of life. For the past two years, many of us have been collectively grieving a variety of losses: jobs, loved ones, and maybe even life as we knew it. In this exhibition, artists Mikey Estes, Kaitlin Jencso, Daniel Kim, Serge J-F. Levy, and Jen Urso cathartically work through their emotions to answer unanswerable questions.

It’s a cool, cool summer. Okay, maybe not in Phoenix, but this summer the Chandler Center for the Arts invited artists from across Arizona to submit cool-tone artwork for our annual open call exhibition. As a reprieve from the brutal summers here in the Valley of the Sun, we are exhibiting artwork of all kinds, from photographs to installations, that spotlight the color blue.

Use the cyanotype blueprinting process to make a found-object photogram inspired by Out of the Blue! This activity is free for all ages.
