The Exhibits Program at Tohono Chul presents visual stories linking the nature, culture, and arts of the Southwest. Focusing on the work of regional artists, we display vibrant works of art in a diverse array of thematic group exhibits. The charming adobe Exhibit House, built as a private home in 1937, is an ideal environment for visitors to view Southwestern artworks. 50% of all exhibit sales help fund programs at Tohono Chul.

Upcoming Exhibitions:
Tohono Chul 40th Anniversary Mural Project
Deadline for Qualification Stage Submissions Closed
With generous support from the Town of Oro Valley, Tohono Chul is seeking an experienced artist for the design and execution of a large indoor mural that honors its 40-year history, reinforces its mission, and celebrates the unique beauty and arts of the Sonoran Desert region. This project will dramatically expand the art experience at Tohono Chul and take advantage of a premium venue: the Pavilion – a grand, 4,744-square-foot flexible space that hosts public and private events. One of the newest structures in the gardens, the Pavilion was opened in 2019 and has a large, highly visible wall. The addition of a versatile, timeless, and mood driven mural will transform the space into a daily destination for guests, raise awareness of Tohono Chul’s mission, and become a major attraction for out-of-town visitors.
