Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
You know, it just wouldn't be Art Detour Weekend without the Mutant Piñata Show at Bragg's Pie Factory. Curator Beatrice Moore delighted the Detour audience when she initially launched this exhibition in 2008. Now, in its third year, it's fast become one of our very favorite shows to cover.
The highly imaginative exhibition features an explosion of local artists' creations with piñatas in every crazy color, unexpected shape and ridiculous theme imaginable (yes, there has even been some piñata nudity in the past).
This year, we got a sneak peek as our web editor, Jonathan McNamara, popped in and snapped a slide show (click here for an eyeful) to give us a quick taste of what this year's piñata participants have come up with.
The Mutant Piñata Show is at Bragg's Pie Factory, 1301 West Grand Avenue and is open this weekend, Friday, March 5 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday, March 6 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, March 7 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Visit the facebook page here.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
