A TAG Community Exhibition

The exhibition is open to all artists aged 18 and older who reside in the metro Phoenix area and will showcase approximately 100 visual artworks that reflect a wide range of perspectives, skill levels, and media. By eliminating the entry fee, TAG aims to make participation accessible to students, first-time exhibitors, and underrepresented voices.

Two main events will frame the exhibition.The Opening Reception and Awards Celebration on January 30 at 5 PM will honor 30 exhibitors with awards for excellence. Art and Music Through a Creative Lens, occurring on February 1 at 3 PM, will feature the Central Arizona Flute Ensemble (CAFE), a seven-member flute choir known for its engaging and accessible concerts.
