3) Gallery in the Sun
In an Arizonan desert just outside of Tucson lie scattered a series of buildings created by Ettore DeGrazia, a famous American artist. Each building has some unique artistic details, and the area has now been converted into a showcase of DeGrazia’s work. Originally built as his own gallery because no one would exhibit his work, the location is now an attraction which people want to see. The desert setting brings an external element to the artworks you see, as does the fascinating architectural decisions. It’s free to tour around this spot, and the mood is refreshingly different from other experiences in Arizona. A gift shop exhibits prints of DeGrazia’s work, and with a tour you will feel far more in touch with the artist and his influences. It’s not often you get to look at an artist’s work in a gallery he built himself.
