One of January's exhibits in the shipping containers in Rooevelt Row featured work by Alberto Aguilar.
It's pretty easy to see 50 exhibits a year in metro Phoenix, if you can get yourself out the door to at least one art show a week. They're happening all the time at local museums and galleries, and less conventional spaces from libraries to coffee shops. We totally get it if you didn't make it out to all these shows in 2016, so we put together a sampling of Valley art shows to help you get a feel for what you may have missed. But if you're looking for a worthwhile New Year's resolution, challenge yourself to see 50 local exhibits in 2017. We'll be right there with you, exploring all the good things.
