A horned bull’s skull is covered in turquoise nuggets while the moon encircles the silhouette of a howling coyote. Bored? Of course you are. You live in AZ and, chances are, you’ve seen this crap a million times.

It’s time for a revamp and “Boomtown: Redefining the Southwest” will kindly oblige. The group art exhibition features works by local artists and ASU students who investigate, acknowledge, and reject what audiences expect from traditional southwestern art.

Mondays-Thursdays, 12-5 p.m.; Fridays, 12-3 p.m. Starts: Feb. 4. Continues through Feb. 12, 2010
