"Picturing Maricopa" Burton Barr Central Library	Daily from Mon., October 26 until Sun., December 6	Central Phoenix	Art
From Kim Kardashian’s black eye to Courteney Cox and David Arquette designing jewelry, it seems anything goes in the name of good deeds as long as a horn toots in the process. But the community photography project “Picturing Maricopa” is decidedly toot-less. Pairing 15 of the... More >>

"Suburbia: 85201" Arizona State University	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Wed., November 18 until Mon., January 4, 8:00am-5:00pm	Tempe	Art

"Carrie Marill: Pattern Makers" Lisa Sette Gallery	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., November 5 until Sat., January 2	Central Scottsdale	Art
When it comes to art, nature can be an awesome subject – or a totally boring one. We’ve seen a zillion photos of the Grand Canyon. Thomas Kinkade’s landscapes are now relegated to coffee mugs and T-shirts. And you can only look at so many of Bob Ross’ happy little trees... More >>

"Canalscape for Metro Phoenix" ASU Art Museum	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., November 7 until Tue., December 1	Tempe	Art Environmental Museum Exhibits & Events
Who needs Venice? Like that lovely city, Phoenix may, if Dr. Nan Ellin and her students have their way, be fronted by waterways one day soon. The new exhibit “Canalscape for Metro Phoenix” proposes the re-creation of Phoenix’s most vital urban hubs, where our canals meet major... More >>

Josh Pearce's "f+: Order of the Arcane" Red Hot Robot	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., November 14 until Fri., December 11	Central Phoenix	Art
We’re in the midst of a toy revolution. Bratz dolls are kicking Barbie’s ass, and today’s G.I. Joes are deployed with enough plastic weaponry to blow Strawberry Shortcake to kingdom come. Not so good for the kiddies, but awesome for artist Josh Pearce, a.k.a. f+, who created a... More >>

Dave Quan/Luster Kaboom's “Hogwash” Closing Reception Pravus	Sat., November 28, 12:00pm-4:00pm	Central Phoenix	Art
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a name can be worth a million bucks. Would anyone notice a singer named Brian Warner or Stefani Germanotta? Hell, no. But change their names to Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga and you’ve got a couple of moneymakers. Local cartoonist Dave Quan... More >>

"From the Penthouse to the Basement" Harry Wood Gallery	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Mon., November 16 until Fri., December 4	Tempe	Art Literary Events
If you thought Sarah Palin’s new memoir was only good for kindling or toilet paper, think again. A first edition of Darwin’s The Origin of the Species netted 35,000 pounds at auction. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles No. 1 is worth more than four grand. So when everyone else inevitably... More >>

“Unpolished” Chocolate Factory	Daily from Tue., December 1 until Fri., December 18	Central Phoenix	Art
We’ve seen lots of performance art downtown, but nothing like a non-striptease striptease. It’s all part of the “Unpolished” exhibit, a new feminist-art installation that opens Tuesday, December 1, at the Chocolate Factory. The show, organized by ASU art alumni Victoria... More >>

"colLABORation: Hector Ruiz and DOSE" Bentley Gallery	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., November 6 until Thu., December 3	Central Scottsdale	Art
Outlaw aerosol artist DOSE ONE was profiled last August while in the process of entering the gallery world and simultaneously maintaining his roots in the streets.

"Domestic Arsenal" Mesa Contemporary Arts	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 11 until Sun., January 3	Mesa	Art
Artist Eileen Doktorski used (and twisted) everyday household objects such as toys and furniture to create a heaping mound of a memorial to victims of family violence. More >>
