Art Day (which is every day) was Friday, September 15th in my lovely city. Well, you have heard of bar hopping I am sure, this was Art Hopping. I had the pleasure of attending 2 shows featuring local artists. The first stop was the opening of Growing Up Phoenix featuring the inspiring artwork of Veronica Verdugo Lomeli at the Xico Gallery 1008 E Buckeye Rd Suite 220 Phoenix 85034. Her artwork is inspiring, positive and rich with culture. Her pieces are bright, bold, warm and full of life. Shedding light on the vibrant life and culture of what it is Growing Up Phoenix. Check out the show, you will not be disappointed.
The next show moved me to downtown in the Roosevelt Art district. This was the Rise and Grind show opening at Grand ArtHaus 1501 NW Grand Ave Phoenix 85007. This showing is showcasing many talented artist which kicked off celebrating 1 year open for this lovely gallery. There were abstract pieces, pop culture pieces, street art and much more!
I have followed the arts and all of its many faces for years now, I always enjoy coming across new and exciting talent. The artists who put together and participate in these shows put 150 percent of themselves into it. It is inspiring to see so much passion being put into visuals for others to enjoy.
I love the arts, I love supporting artists and by having support the arts will stay alive for generations to come.
Do yourself a favor and check out these 2 fantastic shows. They are showing into October. Weather is great, take a breather and go show some local artists your love and respect for doing something with their passion and not letting fear drive them!
