Phoenix Mercury vs. Atlanta (preseason) U.S. Airways Center Sun., May 11, 6:00pm Central Phoenix
The Phoenix Mercury were 2007 WNBA champions. Remember? Of course you don’t, dammit, because they don’t get much love in our Suns-obsessed city. Well, we’re not going to let you forget that our hometown gals will be looking to defend their title this season. The road begins with... More >>
Crispin Glover Chandler Cinemas Daily from Fri., May 9 until Sun., May 11, 7:00pm Chandler
Crispin Glover doesn’t want to be misquoted. He’s worried that journalists don’t understand his peculiar new film, What Is It?, so he asks that interviews about the movie be conducted via e-mail. In fact, Glover is so concerned that his oddball movie will be misunderstood that he... More >>
Spring Butterfly Exhibit Desert Botanical Garden Daily from Sat., March 1 until Sun., May 11, 9:30am-5:00pm East Phoenix
Oh, the lovely, majestic butterfly. There isn’t a person in the world who could hate these gorgeous critters. They give unattractive people hope that morphing from a fat blob to a stunning beaut is, indeed, possible. Little kids love them because they’re reminded of the dramatic... More >>

more dates/times
Central Scottsdale
A single, quick glance at Billie #14 is all it takes to burn the name Lyle Ashton Harris into one’s brain forever. Ashton’s transfer print from an old Polaroid is so evocative of a long-gone glamour era, so transformative of Billie Holiday’s unmistakable visage, that no one who... More >>
Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde Herberger Performance Outreach Theater Thu., May 15, 8:00pm
more dates/times
Central Phoenix
Oscar Wilde's "trial of the century" could well have taken place yesterday. It's got all the right ingredients, such as celebrities, art, sex, and our persistent appetite to see those perched comfortably at the height of fame pulled down into the muck. Although Wilde lived and traveled openly... More >>
Arizona Duck (DUKW) Tour Pleasant Harbor Marina at Lake Pleasant Daily, 10:00am
more dates/times
Peoria
Military intelligence, as the old saw goes, is an oxymoron. But the dudes in khaki got it right when they introduced the odd amphibious vehicle called the DUKW during WWII. The bastard spawn of a U-boat and a Hummer helped American troops survive beach attacks like Normandy by transporting... More >>
ASU Baseball vs. Loyola Marymount Packard Stadium Sun., May 11, 6:00pm
more dates/times
Tempe
In this hell-ride of a season, the ASU Baseball team is looking to play somebody (anybody!) that isn’t a powerhouse program. You’d think that Loyola Marymount would provide said relief. Not so, as the 2008 Lions have chalked up impressive wins against Oregon State, USC, and Cal. 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 >>
Downtown Chamber Series Bentley Projects Daily from Sun., May 11 until Mon., May 12, 7:30pm Central Phoenix
If you didn’t attend March’s Downtown Chamber Series concert . . . oh, man. That Crumb piece with the pitched wine glasses, intense violin and cello sections, and growling chants in French? Seriously, one of the best live-music events we’ve ever witnessed. The DCS folks have... More >>
"Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight" Arizona Museum of Natural History Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Tue., March 4 until Thu., July 3, 10:00am-5:00pm

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 >>
"Gardians of the Camargue: The French Buckaroo Tradition" Burton Barr Central Library Daily from Fri., May 9 until Thu., July 31 Central Phoenix
Think “cowboy” and y’all will most likely imagine vast expanses of the old American West. But as long ago as the first nomads got footsore and became farmers, human, horse, and bull forged a triumvirate that emerged around the world. For example, the Camargue region of France is... More >>
Hard Day’s Night feat. DJ Scotty C., & guests The Rogue Bar Every week Sunday, 10:00pm-2:00am South Scottsdale
Short of turning back the clock to a time when property taxes didn’t devour nearly every noncorporate establishment in the Valley, how can Phoenix keep its precious remaining scenesters from moving to Portland, Seattle, or Brooklyn? Well, one way is to provide nighttime entertainment at a... More >>
"In the Artist's Studio: The Paintings of Jeffrey Gold" Mesa Contemporary Arts Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., February 29 until Sun., May 18 Mesa
As hard as we try to forget our childhood, the human memory, once triggered, can overpower our best efforts. For example, some jerk in your office decides to watch the Lite-Brite commercial on YouTube and you suddenly have a flashback: 6-year-old you – wearing knee-high tube socks and a... More >>
"Josh Greene: Some Parts Might Be Greater Than the Whole" ASU Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Tue., February 19 until Sun., May 18 Tempe
If you usually go to a museum for quiet contemplation, ditch Josh Greene’s “Some Parts Might Be Greater Than the Whole” exhibit, which encourages elbow-rubbing among strangers. Greene’s “installation” — part of ASU Art Museum’s Social Studies series... More >>
Mini Munnys Synthetic Compound Daily from Fri., March 7 until Sat., May 31 Central Phoenix
Who knew that Mr. Potato Head, the spud born of George Lerner's childhood imagination that Hasbro marketed to the masses in the ’50s, was the forerunner of a bright DIY future? These days, interchangeable plastic features have given way to Kidrobot’s Munny, a blank canvas of a toy... More >>
Nidaa Aboulhosn’s "Conatus. Every Day." @Central Gallery Daily from Fri., May 2 until Thu., May 29 Central Phoenix
It’s tough to artistically capture a war-torn land or a place that’s experiencing upheaval without falling into a clichéd, depressing point of view about the affected country and its people. You won’t find such an empty portrayal in Nidaa Aboulhosn’s “Conatus.... More >>
One O'Clock Shirtless Shots Monkey Pants Bar & Grill Daily Tempe
Been to the gym this summer? Make it pay off during One O'Clock Shirtless Shots, where you'll get a penny shot for exposing yourself from the waist up. Bring on the sweaty armpits, chest hair, or whatever your naked torso has going for itself. The naughtiness happens every night at 1 a.m. at... More >>
Salt River Tubing & Recreation Salt River Tubing & Recreation Daily from Sat., May 3 until Tue., September 30, 9:00am-7:00pm Mesa
Rednecks tend to be attracted to large bodies of water. Don’t believe us? How else to explain the “Redneck Riviera” spanning the area from Mobile, Alabama, to the Emerald Coast near Apalachicola, Florida? Though we live in the desert, that doesn’t mean our state is running... More >>

"SuperFun Activity Challenge!" Trunk Space Daily from Sat., May 3 until Mon., May 12 Central Phoenix
If Peter Pan owned a gallery, it would be Trunk Space, that Neverland on Grand. Our dauntless Lost Kids strike again on with their SuperFun Activity Challenge!, featuring the unveiling of artist books “inspired by those thick, cheaply made coloring books from days of yore,” says... More >>
"The Breathing Room: Mayme Kratz" Desert Botanical Garden Daily from Fri., January 18 until Sat., May 31 East Phoenix
Phoenix artist Mayme Kratz once told New Times that she spent her childhood “burying things and digging them back up and dissecting them.” Kratz’s predilection has paid off as an adult with scores of shows and representation by Scottsdale’s Lisa Sette Gallery. As the current... More >>
