During Black History month, I'm filling my calendar with events and locales in the Phoenix…read moremetropolitan area where I can experience the handiworks of Black artists. I began my journey here. Located in the Surprise Civic Center complex, this gallery is featuring Black artistry from sculpture to quilting, photography to paintings and jewelry to ceramics. It was an impressive array. The gallery space can also be rented as an event space. The gardens outside are lovely with plants that shade in the beastly summer. Seating is plentiful under an arbor that covers an ample amount of space, perfect for meditation, conversation, or even a sack lunch. I'm looking forward to returning again as the exhibits rotate throughout the month to feature other Black artists handiwork.

Highly recommend Framed Expressions for anyone in the West Valley with picture framing or repair…read moreneeds. Owner - operator Regina Powell has years of art and custom framing experience. In my experience, after breaking the glass and damaging the frame on a prized collectable framed photograph, I was fortunate to find Framed Expressions. Regina is a true professional and knows what needs to be done to make sure your art and/or photographs are treated with care and exceptionally framed or repaired. Framed Expressions is located at Sundome Plaza in Sun City West, but worth the trip from anywhere in the West Valley if you're looking to have artwork and/or photographs custom framed or repaired. Again, highly recommend.
