    Arizona has many museums and art Centers. A variety of art fairs and festivals are held throughout the year.

    I will get info for art fairs & festivals.

    I'm sorry we lost our branch of the Heard Museum in Surprise and the West Valley Art Museum on Avenue of the Arts, but WVAM has been allowed to mount exhibits in Peoria's City Hall and they are really nice, so check out the latest one. BTW, the building and grounds are wonderful too. A little cafe on the ground floor is also worth a visit. The grounds include a xericscape garden, sculpture, and it's pleasant to walk over to the public library.
