Heaven and Earth
Jon Wassom has always used paint as a medium to explore the world around him, making sense of reality through artistic process and color theory. Now, with the lessons he has adapted to, “new layers emerge, and others shed away” to reveal something completely new, something transcendent. Float through 9 the Gallery between 6-10 p.m. and see if your feet touch the ground. More info here.
Odd, Not Even
New City Studio is not a traditional gallery and oddly enough, that’s just what people are looking for. As Phoenix grows more and more, so will the diversity of its artists and their styles. In celebration of that very fact, New City is hosting an expansive group show featuring a host of artists including Sam W. J. Johnson and many more in an effort activate the community’s sense of wonder. Come celebrate between 7-10 p.m., located at 1300 W. Central Ave. More info here.
Styles Family Values
Discipline, tradition, standards… these are just a few of the values Such and Champ Styles hold true in their everyday lives that simply can’t help but shine through their distinctive, collaborative style like a beacon of hope for all who behold it. Swing through to see what a few rattle cans, some markers and whole lot of love and attention to detail are capable of, at the Grand ArtHaus from 6-10 p.m.
