Question
Dear Judy,

thanks for volunteering.  Can you recommended places in Arizona that have concentrations of photographic art galleries.  I'll be visiting Arizona shortly and  plan to drive around the state.

Thanks,

Usuff

Answer
Hello Usuff,

This is not a topic that I keep up on, but here are a couple of leads:

The Heard Museum in Phoenix usually has some kind of photography exhibit. Right now it is the Barry Goldwater collection:

In Tucson the U of A has the Center for Creative Photography

The ASU Art Museum has special photographic exhibitions:

There are concentrations of art galleries in Tucson, Phoenix, Scotttsdale and Sedona. There are others, as well, but I doubt they have photography. I don't really know where there are galleries with photographs, but here's some groups you can contact:
In Tucson, the Tucson/Pima Arts Council

In Phoenix, contact Artlink:

In Scottsdale, contact Scottsdale Arts District:

In Sedona, you might be able to contact one of the photographer references to find out:

I hope this helps,
