Metal, Stone & Wood
An artist’s choice of materials is an essential part of the final aesthetic experience that artwork offers. With textural, compositional and creative nuances, every artistic medium bears its own personality. The exhibit Metal, Stone, and Wood celebrates these three distinctly different materials as they are used in two-dimensional works, sculpture, functional ware, and beyond. The particular weight and texture of carved stone can sit in stark contrast to the polish and angularity of welded steel (or sometimes, vice versa) and the ways in which local artists are engaging with these materials is at the heart of this exciting exhibition.

Student Artwork from the Arizona Schools for the Deaf and the Blind
Through touch, we have the ability to physically interact with our surroundings and intimately discover the range of textures and forms that make up our world. For artists who are blind/visually impaired or deaf/hearing impaired the relationship to touch is often intensified in each work of art, enabling viewers to become active participants in a similar sensory investigation. Tohono Chul is exploring how artworks can engage the many senses by celebrating the artistic achievements of students from the Arizona Schools for the Deaf and the Blind.

Space Form - Collection Spotlight
The Collection Spotlight gives us the opportunity to share our diverse Permanent Collection with visitors from around the globe.

A recipient of the Frank Lloyd Wright Memorial Award in 1965, Melendy created artworks that offered new perspectives on traditional materials. In this wall-hung sculpture, the undulating copper limbs mimic the buoyancy of floating seaweed as it reaches towards the ocean’s surface, offering us a unique glimpse of the many forms of copper.
