Description

Having debuted back in 1971, the Alwun House arguably sired the entire downtown arts district. Housed in a historic two-story built in 1912 home, owners Kim Moody and Dana Johnson the joint as both a gallery and studio for themselves and local artists. There's also an ample stage area in the back that has hosted fetish balls, poetry slams, fire-dancing, experimental music, and performance art.

    Way Back to the Future

    By Jose Gonzalez | Thu, April 11, 2013

    Google Glass, the Internet giant’s tech-crammed lensless eyeglass frames, might have some techies abuzz, but we prefer the fashion points scored with the stylishly clunky aviator goggles of yore. If you agree, you’ll be right at home at Alwun... More »

    Captain Squeegee frontman Danny Torgersen is a bona fide quote machine. The singer and trumpeter is known for his unconventional views. Just take his vocal contribution to a song that asserts 9/11 was... More »

    The average non-Arizonan might view Phoenix as the type of place where recalled Republican senators nab top GOP positions and horse-faced chief executives wag pasty fingers at the President. They wouldn’t exactly be wrong. But liberalism... More »

    Beaming In

    By Julie Peterson | Thu, December 01, 2011

    Every year, when days start to stay colder and darker for longer and longer, a little part of us goes ignorant caveman and wants to magic away the end of the world with a brilliant flame. Artificial light is comforting, practical, and very... More »

    I have been to many events at the Alwun House. The house itself is a historic home, which houses the art exhibits that you can SEE. But outside there is an outdoor stage where there is auditory art! Eyegasms and eargasms. :-) LOVE this place!

    Alwun House is such a cool art venue. The inside is an old, wooden-floored house and the outside is an enchanting garden of a place. They have giant parachutes over top of the space and it gives it a really mystical feel.

  • 2009 | Best Art House

    Before there was a First Friday or a Roosevelt Row, the best -- and for a while, the only -- place to find alternative contemporary art was Alwun House. Folks looking for a funky, big-city art scene had only Alwun, downtown's first gallery, to rely on for "something different," art-wise. The first independent non-profit art space, Alwun set the current trend of galleries' advocating for artists with its Alwun House Foundation, the first local arts organization to address the...
