In my last post, I talked about the Tempe Center for the Arts, which includes a small art gallery and a sculpture garden. I wanted to take a few minutes here, though, and talk about the other galleries in Tempe.
The Tempe Public Library, located at 3500 S. Rural Road, displays art on both its first and second floors. Exhibits rotate and include student work. At Connections Cafe, also within the library, local artists have an opportunity to show their work. Upcoming exhibits include Othman and Thomas; Bruns and Keaton; Kaster and Klotz; and Carlton and Farias.
The Tempe Post Office, located at 500 S. Mill Avenue, also showcases local artists. Displays here emphasize fun, eye-catching and unusual work.
The recently refurbished Gallery at the Vihel Center also offers the community a chance to see local artwork. The center, located at 3340 S. Rural Road, holds classes, too, in dance, music, theater and visual arts for both children and adults.
And, then there's ASU. Check out the ASU Art Museum at the corner of Mill Avenue and 10th Street. This contemporary art museum is free to the public and is home to the very first Georgia O'Keefe skull painting. As part of your visit, cross 10th Street and tour the Ceramics Research Center's displays of 3-dimensional art.
