Holgas Gallery

In the mid-2000s this spot in Downtown Phoenix was the place to hear up-and-coming bands play informal front yard shows. Nowadays there's still plenty of art to be seen at Holgas Gallery but it's usually not the music genre. It's an apartment complex for the poor, starving artists types where each living space also doubles as a gallery. On First Fridays visitors can meander through the complex checking out each resident's work in a truly intimate – maybe even almost too intimate – setting. Though it may no be much to look at on the outside (the building was built in the 60s as a hotel) you can bet there's plenty to see withing those gray concrete walls.
