Prime Time Review - 'Kitchen Nightmares' causes chaos for Scottsdale
Chef Gordon Ramsay is known in many households as an ornery man with a sharp tongue and a quick temper, poking and prodding at every instance of dissatisfaction he can find in a kitchen. Ramsay is best known for his shows, Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. Hell's Kitchen places contestants in a team based competition in which the greatest chefs rise to the top while the cooks fall by the wayside. Kitchen Nightmares places Chef Ramsay, who has an astonishing fifteen Michelin Stars, in failing restaurants with the mission to turn the establishments around. Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares have been runaway successes in both The United States and The U.K.

Tsitoto, Tobacco Flower Katsina Collection Spotlight
Start: Sun, Mar 17, 2013 9:00 am
End: Sun, Mar 17, 2013 5:00 pm
As respected spirits within the Hopi culture, the katsinam (plural of katsina) are an integral part of this agricultural society. They embody the spirit essences of all things in the natural world—they are the guardians of life. This particular katsina is a contemporary interpretation of Tsitoto, the Tobacco Flower katsina, who appears in a variety of ceremonies on the three northern Arizona mesas. Carved by Hopi artist Gerry Quotskuyva in 2008 for Tohono Chul, it is a superb example of the evolution and advancement of the time-honored artisanship of Hopi katsina carving.

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.
