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.

Tohono Chul’s mission statement envisions the Park as a community oasis where reverence for the cultural and natural ecology of the Sonoran Desert region inspires responsible stewardship so that future generations may thrive. For the past 41 years Tohono Chul’s Exhibits Program has provided regional artists unique opportunities to exhibit their artwork in a broad range of thematic exhibitions.
The Exhibit House at Tohono Chul consists of three exhibition spaces: Main Gallery, Welcome Gallery, and Entry Gallery. The work of regional artists and objects from Tohono Chul’s Permanent Collection are featured in each gallery during each exhibition season.
The Entry Gallery is an ideal space for solo or small group exhibitions featuring cohesive bodies of work – the Project Space series offers Arizona Artists three exhibition slots that run nine weeks each and share an Exhibit House ‘Reception with the Artists’ during the run of each exhibition. Exhibition dates for the 2026/2027 Exhibition Calendar: August 1 – October 4, 2026; October 10 – December 13, 2026; December 19, 2026 – February 21, 2027.
Please feel free to contact the EXHIBITS PROGRAM at Tohono Chul if you have any questions about creating a proposal for the Entry Gallery Project Space – exhibits@tohonochul.org.
