We've been looking for museums and art galleries to change up the day to day and add some culture to our busy lives. I was driving past this spot so I thought I would check it out to maybe bring the girlfriend and the family. I wasn't able to see any art this day but I did explore the little shops around here to also give us ideas for food when we come back. I will update my star rating when we get back here. read more

Art Intersection - Art Galleries Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I love this little gem in downtown Gilbert. Art Intersection was established in 2011. I was a student in a black and white photography class down the street at Chandler-Gilbert CC when they opened. They had asked us in our class to submit a photo for viewing for a student photography exhibit at Art Intersection. I have visited numerous exhibits over the years since discovering this place. Art Intersection is located on the second floor of the Heritage Court Building. In addition to being a gallery, they offer a variety of photography classes for both beginners and experts. They also have a wet darkroom and both a process and digital lab that you can rent out. I have taken a photoshop class here in the past and enjoyed getting to know the founder Alan Fitzgerald. He has a deep passion and love for photography and is fun to chat with about photography. Every few months Art Intersection showcases an artist's photography work in their gallery. This includes an opening night reception where you can meet the artist and chat with them about their work. It's a great way to learn about many of the local photographers here in the Valley and view their work. The annual "No Strangers" exhibit is one of my favorites to check out. They used to have a fun event called Phototapas where they would celebrate the art of photography during the month of February. If you want to check out some great photography work and avoid the hassle of a larger museum, Art Intersection is open throughout the week and is free to visit. read more

LOVE this place! The photo exhibits are always top notch! Was at the opening of The Picturing Resistance (many photographers represented) and Ken Light's Midnight LaFrontera show. The latter was about migrants in the 80's crossing the border or trying to. Fabulously emotional and sad to say, not much has changed. The owner, Alan, is so warm and welcoming. If you're a photography lover, don't miss this place, then grab a meal in the many offerings in Gilbert! read more

I loved the No Strangers exhibit at Art Intersection. Tons of talented photographers were featured. Scott Baxter's work was my favorite. I loved how his pictures consist of sepia. They are absolutely awesome. I'd love to have something of his in the future read more

My fiancée and I spent 4 weeks in Arizona working on a handful of projects. Art Intersection was an amazing resource not only did they provide us a clean, distraction free work space but the staff was wonderful. Caroline was an amazing resource when it came to the darkroom and getting our selves familiar with the lay of the land. She even helped us find some creative work around to insure that my fiancée, who is a graphic designer could have access to the needed software for his work. In addition the staff was even kind enough to let us take a look at the show that was being installed since we would not be able to see it when it opened. These guys are amazing, kind, friendly and they really make you feel like family. We will definitely be coming back. read more

If you haven't been paying attention, it's easy to miss the fact that Art Intersection opened up. And that's sad, because you're missing out on something awesome. Art Intersection is a (gorgeous, huge, airy) gallery exhibiting photography. Art Intersection is a place that offers all manner of photography workshops. Art Intersection is a place with critiques and social space. Art Intersection is a place with darkrooms and digital labs and huge Epson printers (oh my!), all available for your use at reasonable rental rates. It's the kind of place you miss once you've left the warm embrace of a university program. It's the kind of place I dreamed about making myself. If you enjoy photography, whether it's making it or looking at it, get your bad self to Art Intersection and check it out. read more

Love this place. They have so many resources for photographers. I've only explored the black and white film developing class , but they have classes for Photoshop, Lightroom, black and white printing using an enlarger, picture framing, and lots more. The classes are a little steep at $60, but once you complete, you can come back and use the labs for only $10 an hour (even cheaper if you become a member). They set up all the chems before you show up, which is nice. They are all very friendly, very experienced, and love photography almost as much as me. I hope this place stays in business for a long time. read more

If you're into photography this place has it all including great people working there. Multiple galleries and state of the art darkrooms for rent. Personally I've never rented darkroom space before but my home darkroom isn't cutting it anymore due to poor ventilation. I called Art Intersection and Gina (person on the phone) talked me over to give it a try. To sum it up, I'll never process film again at home. There lab's are professional, super clean and all the the supplies needed are supplied. I showed up with a heavy box full of my own chemistry and stuff but didn't use any of it. My suggestion to you is go there and you'll be surprised how simple they make for you. Totally awesome and as a result I'm excited to start doing personal work again. Thank you Art Intersection! read more

Art Intersection is amazing! It's the reason I make the 45-minute drive to Gilbert from north Scottsdale. Their workshop offerings are really exciting.

Art Intersection also offers exceptional opportunities for emerging artists to show their work.
