• Along the Colorado

    Vision Gallery 10 E Chicago St, Chandler, AZ, United States

    On August 16, the US Bureau of Reclamation announced the first official shortage declaration for the Colorado River. For the seven US states along the river, this means new restrictions and a changed relationship not only to the river, but also to each other. The exhibition Along the Colorado highlights artwork that explores issues around water; its scarcity, use, commodification, conservation, legality, and other issues through the lens of artists who reside in these states. Curated by Sapira Cheuk.

  • Untraditionally American: Kat Davis and Brianna Noble

    Vision Gallery 10 E Chicago St, Chandler, AZ, United States

Artists Kat Davis and Brianna Noble were raised in what they perceived to be traditional American homes, but as adults, their lives are anything but traditional.
