2010 | Best Culinary Festival

Jet set + Gypsy = Gypset. That’s the basis of writer Julia Chaplin’s coffee table book, Gypset Style, which unearths the bohemian counterculture of stylish world travelers. It seems straightforward, but there’s more to the subset of nomadic creat... More >

There are always several interesting exhibitions to see. I especially love the Norton Photography Gallery in the South Wing. It's kind of hidden away, but worth the trip up to the second floor.

Every time I go to the PAM I leave exhausted after 2 or 3 hours of exploring their galleries. You can find everything here from tapestries and textiles, to ancient Samurai armor, to modern art in its many incarnations. If you're short on cash, go on Wednesdays (ANY WEDNESDAY!) between 2 and 9 o'clock and you can get in for whatever donation you can afford...if you can't afford to donate, its free!

Event Review: Phoenix Art Museum | Wed, April 06, 2011

Great place to go on a Tuesday night (which should be the right night..) because it's free! You can't get into special exhibits w/out paying still (I believe), but there are still some decent pieces to look at!

PAM is fabulous. The galleries are unique and the layout is beautiful. Gift shop is first rate. I love the inside waterfall/fountain, so zen. So far this is my favorite museum in the city.

In a city that almost always sleeps, it's rare to see anyone out for a stroll. But there's one couple you can count on: Julian and Suzanne. You'll find them in the form of a large-scale, animated light sculpture permanently affixed to a southeast wall of the Phoenix Art Museum. The creation of British artist Julian Opie, the large-scale (13.5 feet high, 10 feet wide) work is one of the most clever pieces of public art we've ever seen � beautiful in its simplicity, belying the tremendous work that went into its creation. Opie, whose work is also included in the permanent collection of the Tate Gallery in London, videotapes various people (including himself) walking on treadmills, then simplifies still images on the computer and animates them for LED displays. We don't understand just exactly how it works, but we know one thing: We could watch Julian and Suzanne all day.
