Movie Mondays: Cowboys and Indians: The Killing of J.J. Harper Heard Museum Mon., July 28, 1:30pm Central Phoenix
It’s been more than a century since the glory days of Wyatt Earp and Geronimo, yet boys of all ages are still playing cowboys and Indians. And even when semi-automatics replaced six-shooters and battles over land moved into the legal arena, the, um, game has remained exactly the same.... More >>
"Crazed Consumers: Behind the Psychology of Shopping" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Thu., July 31, 6:30pm Central Scottsdale
When you found your boyfriend in bed with your roommate, why did you storm out of the house and head directly to the mall? Hmmm? Do you indulge in such “retail therapy” behaviors? Then you may be a consumerism addict. No worries. You’re not alone. Hordes of people stroll about... More >>

East Phoenix
We’re all for hybrid cars and green cleaners, but if we have to look at one more painting exploring the dangers of deforestation, we’re gonna blow chunks. What’s next -- artists go PETA on our asses, hurling red tree sap at anyone not using recycled paper? At first glance,... More >>
"Chado Ralph Rucci" Phoenix Art Museum Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., March 21 until Sun., August 17 Central Phoenix
High fashion in the Phoenix area is still associated with statements like, "Why, yes, I did get this at Macy's." In this town, you're more likely to be judged by the overall hue and breadth of your tan than for your taste in Balenciaga footwear. This may change some when Barney's opens in... More >>
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition” Arizona Science Center Daily from Sat., June 7 until Sun., October 26, 10:00am-5:00pm Central Phoenix
We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never imagined that his acclaimed children's series The Chronicles of Narnia would spawn something as scary-sounding as an "immersive marketing experience." So trust it to late capitalism to concoct such a... More >>
“Human & Animal Grossology” Arizona Science Center Daily from Sat., May 24 until Mon., September 1 Central Phoenix
A friend of ours freaks out when he realizes the molecules he's inhaling have been inside our lungs, too. You other wusses better check out “Human & Animal Grossology” at Arizona Science Center beginning Saturday, May 24, and get desensitized to all the emissions and secretions of us... More >>
"No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" Phoenix Art Museum Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 14 Central Phoenix
Phoenix Art Museum has always had a thing for Asian art. Its permanent collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian artworks is not only massive, but also well-regarded. The "No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" exhibit is another amazing gem in PAM’s new series... More >>
"Up From the Ashes: Phoenix Goes to Mars" Arizona Capitol Museum Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Central Phoenix
Let's not pull punches. Phoenicians detest Tucsonans, their Birkenstock flip-flops and patchouli cologne, their laissez-faire approach to life, their liberal voting habits. (On the other hand, we've got Sheriff Joe and the idiots who keep electing him, so maybe they’re on to something.)... More >>
"Early Phoenix: A Photographic Exhibit of Historic Downtown Phoenix" Rosson House Museum Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., June 6 until Sun., September 28 Central Phoenix
Much of what once made it bustling and lovely to look at is gone, but the shadow of downtown Phoenix casts a long memory. It’s a dark shadow filled with pretty sites: The San Carlos Hotel on Central Avenue, with its street-front portico and its swoopy neon sign; the Henry Nace-designed... More >>
"Branded and on Display" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 14 until Sun., September 21 Central Scottsdale
It’s gotten so we don’t even see them, the carefully placed product endorsements that are part of everyday life. On an episode of American Idol, Simon Cowell raises to his lips a monstrous neon tumbler emblazoned with the Coca-Cola logo, and what we see is a man taking a drink. Our... More >>
"NOW: Selections From the Ovitz Family Collection" ASU Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 7 until Sun., September 28 Tempe
Onetime Hollywood strongman Michael Ovitz used to make news for all the wrong reasons: voicing paranoiac slurs about the “gay mafia,” causing schisms in the Mickey Mouse fantasy factory during his star-crossed Disney stint, and manhandling the help as documented in Suzanne... More >>
"Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight" Arizona Museum of Natural History Every week Sunday from Sun., March 2 until Sun., September 28, 1:00pm-5:00pm

Mesa
Gigantic, pissed-off chickens with teeth. That’s the impression created by the imposing models on display in the “Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight” exhibit. After you check out these dentally impressive fowl, run for your life to Arizona Science Center and marvel at... More >>

more dates/times
Central Phoenix
According to legend, the Diné (Navajo) underworld was a supercool place to live for the Holy People. The weather was perfect, food grew in loads, and the staples of Navajo art – such as rug weaving, silversmithing, and basketry – were cultivated and honed. In his... More >>
