Rancho Linda Vista
November 15, 2019 – February 5, 2020 | Main Gallery Reception with the Artists | Friday, November 15 | 5:30 – 8:00 pm
Curator’s Talk| Tuesday, November 19 and Thursday, November 21| 10am
In 1967, a group of artists decided to create a community in the desert in which to live and create. They settled n the perfect space in the foothills of the Catalina’s near the town or Oracle, renovating an old cattle/guest ranch to meet their needs. Since then, Rancho Linda Vista has been a haven for artists, designers, writers and thinkers. This exhibition will explore the influence and history of this intriguing community and its impact on the arts in Arizona.

HOME SWEET HABITAT
January 18 – June 26, 2020 | Gardens
Since its founding, Tohono Chul has served as a model of sustainable living with the surrounding natural environment, promoting habitat protection and gardening practices that attract native wildlife, particularly pollinators. Now, thanks to a generous $5,000 grant from TEP, we are launching a new project — Home Sweet Habitat — which demonstrates creative ways to provide habitat for local, native pollinators while partnering with local artists, pollinator experts, businesses and other non-profits in a visitor-friendly format.
Artists are asked to design and create habitat solutions for bats, bees, birds and butterflies, using recycled and repurposed materials. The chosen artists will have the guidance of local experts to ensure their designs functionality and a $250 honorarium for creating the habitat. Completed habitats will be installed in the gardens, opening with the Tohono Chul Members Reception in January and culminating with the Adopt-a-Bee Pollinator Party in June. Interpretive labels, maps, and handouts with suggestions for do-it-yourself pollinator habitats/gardens at home will accompany this outdoor exhibition.
