Cathedral Center for the Arts

Located just outside of Phoenix's bustling business district is the Trinity Cathedral, an 82-year-old Episcopalian church. Those who've driven the area have probably passed the church many times, but might not know that it houses an ideal getaway for anyone seeking an artistic reprieve from the stresses of downtown life. Between the cathedral and Bishop Atwood Hall lies the Cathedral Center for the Arts show space. It's a light, narrow gallery that many enjoy as an artsy refuge. Cathedral Center for the Arts hangs art regularly, and it's usually the work of lesser-known artists. The gallery space offers cathedral-like quiet that many seem to crave as a break from the noises of the day and their guest book is full of thanks from visitors for providing an oasis where they can sit and ponder.
