"From Tap to Source: The Art of Water" is now on display at The Gallery @ City Hall. This exhibition highlights the ways in which artists have reflected on water and the ancient and modern canal systems that have delivered it in the Southwest. These 26 works, all from the city of Phoenix's Municipal Art Collection cover a wide range of expressions, media, and themes – all related to the beauty, significance and – at times – irony of abundant water in the desert.
Located on the ground floor of City Hall, The Gallery @ City Hall is open weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The artwork will be on display until January 2019.
The Gallery @ City Hall is supported and operated by the Friends of Phoenix Public Art. The Friends of Phoenix Public Art are currently looking for new Gallery volunteers. Selected volunteers will participate in a ninety-minute training program to learn about the gallery exhibits and works in the Phoenix Municipal Art Collection.
