Art Exhibits
Tohono Chul Park's changing exhibits convey an appreciation of the environment, reflect the rich ethnic legacy of the Southwest and promote an appreciation of the region's arts and culture. They are strongly community oriented and offer the Park's audience a richer understanding of our region. To complement exhibits, related lectures and workshops provide a springboard for more learning experiences. Our exhibits program demonstrates the special merits of the Sonoran Desert region and shows the interdependent relationship between plants, animals and people.
Because of the diversity of the community, exhibits are developed to create a balance between artistic, historic and cultural themes. Exhibits are designed to appeal to a broad audience, often incorporating the contributions of children, seniors and various ethnic groups.
It is the purpose of the exhibits program to strengthen regional ties and underscore a sense of community. Preference is given to artists residing in the southwestern United States.
The Park's Exhibit House is a charming, restored adobe building built in 1937. It includes the Gallery, which features small-scale works, and the Exhibit Hall where large-scale work and group shows are displayed. Following is a list of shows, which are currently planned for these two spaces.
