EXHIBIT HALL

Winner of the prestigious Lumie Award in 2009, the exhibit program at Tohono Chul presents visual stories linking the nature, culture and arts of the Southwest. Working with regional artists, we display vibrant works of art in a diverse array of thematic group exhibits, with shows changing every eight weeks. The charming adobe Exhibit House, built as a private home in 1937, is an ideal environment for visitors to view Southwestern artworks. Galleries in the Exhibit House are open 9:00am – 5:00pm daily, except New Year’s Day, July 4^th, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Do you know your ABC’s? To celebrate 25 years of memories and accomplishments, we are presenting the exhibit Tohono Chul Park A-to-Z, a visual compendium that touches upon some of the people, places and things that make the Park so special. A is for Architecture including the Mexican-Colonial style home designed by the late Tucson architect Louis DeWitt Hall that is now the Park’s Tea Room, and the Pueblo-Revival style Exhibit House built of stuccoed adobe in 1937. B is for Birds that can be seen around the Park and Bobcats too, who are occasional visitors. C is for Cholla Forest, our prickly plants of the Sonoran Desert. With alphabetical themes and artworks by regional artists, we commemorate 25 years of stories linking art, nature and culture.
