Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It’s hard to be incognito when you’re a performer. That’s why it’s better to be a visual artist — you can spy on people talking about your work without them even knowing.
Local artist Sue Chenoweth gets a kick out of hearing guests speculate about her whimsical, childlike paintings. “People get shocked sometimes when they meet me because they don’t picture a middle-age woman making art like I do,” says Chenoweth. “They have a preconceived view of me in their head . . . like how so many people have a preconceived idea about how art should be.”
Meet Chenoweth and other artists at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art’s Summer Opening Celebration. In addition to Chenoweth’s work, Western-themed pieces from the museum’s permanent collection and an installation by local architecture firm Atherton|Keener will be on display.
