WELLS FARGO GALLERY

Each summer Tohono Chul launches a new exhibit drawing upon the rich cultural expressions represented in the Park’s permanent collection of Southwest American Indian arts. Displayed for a year, exhibits promote an appreciation for achievements of the region’s Native peoples while exploring the dynamic links between past, present and future.
Gallery Hours: 9:00am – 5:00pm, Monday through Saturday.

25 Milestones of Tohono Chul Park will feature selections from the Park’s permanent collection of artwork together with items from the Park’s archive, focusing on the important moments in Tohono Chul history! Did you know that portions of our desert corner were once occupied by a citrus grove, two private residences, a bookstore, and even one of the first private swimming pools in Tucson!

Since its establishment in 1985, the Park has strived to enrich people’s lives through education about our desert home. We have more than 300 species of cacti and succulents and more than 50 species of wildflowers, all expertly cultivated in our many specialized gardens, not to mention the largest public collection of native Night Blooming Cereus (Peniocereus greggii) in the United States. The Tea Room and three Museum Shops provide Tucsonans and visitors with local foods and crafts, while the award-winning exhibits program furnishes the Exhibit House with beautiful changing art displays. Special events and classes are offered, and over the years we have had the privilege of imparting wonderful family memories to those who visit us. We are truly the place where nature, art, and culture connect!
