Out of the Mist by James Boren, 1988. Collection of Phoenix Art Museum.With an ongoing mission designed to enrich lives and communities by connecting people to great art from around the world, Phoenix Art Museum has built an international reputation for excellence. And judging from the amazing progress they have made in the past 50 years, they have more than succeeded in their efforts, hosting more than 400 exhibitions, growing their collection to over 18,000 works of art and receiving millions of visitors. But in an effort to reach a more rural audience in Arizona's Central Highlands, we're lucky enough to display a stunning collection of their finest western art from some of the nation's most revered western artists, including Frederic Remington, Joe Beeler, James Swinnerton and Gunnar Widfross. Special thanks to Phoenix Art Museum for this loan of incredible artwork and their genreous collaboration.

Rise 'n Shine by Tim SchmidtNothing seems to capture our attention more immediately than children and small animals. Just ask any successful advertiser. Tiny body features with large eyes and big heads just seem to have a special place in our heart and captivate our interest in a way that is unlike any other subject matter. So when you explore this upcoming presentation, be prepared for many smiles and numerous “Aww’s”. Presented in the James Gallery, this exhibit is comprised of artwork from the museum’s Permanent Collection and pieces on loan from generous individual collectors.
