For this exhibition, Melissa Sclafani and Ellie Richards examine what it means to play, and who has the ability to do so. This lighthearted exhibition with serious themes will inspire you to reconsider an element of our lives that we take for granted.

As the pandemic gripped the nation in 2020, people of all different backgrounds searched for ways to safely venture out of the house and take a break from the pressures of daily life. In Take a Hike, the Chandler Galleries invited artists to share their appreciation and experiences of hiking the myriad trails across Arizona and further afield.

Inspired by our current exhibition, Take a Hike, stop by Vision Gallery on Saturday, July 17 from 11am - 1pm to make a clay cactus! Practice your sculpting techniques to make a variety of succulent shapes. All supplies provided, all ages welcome.
