All Day

Nuance/Nuisance

Chandler Center for the Arts 250 N. Arizona Ave., Chandler

In the overwhelmingly urban Phoenix Valley, the cacti and coyote of the desert can often feel distant - like a backdrop to our daily lives. As we drive air-conditioned cars between air-conditioned houses and air-conditioned jobs, the environment can go woefully unnoticed and sometimes unappreciated, even if it is physically close. Gina DeGideo, Daniella Napolitano, and Rebecca Pipkin invite viewers to roll down their windows and connect with the natural world that surrounds them.
