Arizona Artbeat: A Horizon Special

Season 4, Episode 1 of 4

Chihuly at the Botanical Garden Stunning blown-glass installations by artist Dale Chihuly are once again on exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden. We'll take you on a video tour of the exhibit. Ground Cover Art An ambitious idea from a Phoenix artist attracted hundreds of volunteers who turned a vacant lot into a textile garden of desert flowers. The creation was part of a public art project that not only attracted knitters, crocheters and quilters from across Arizona, the United States and Canada, but also helped hundreds of people in need. You'll meet artist and project manager Ann Morton along with a volunteer and beneficiary of this unique project. Deer Valley Rock Art Center It's one of the best examples of American Indian Petroglyphs in existence. The Deer Valley Rock Art Center is located in North Phoenix. You'll get a glimpse of some of the petroglyphs on display at the center. Pop Art A new exhibit at the Tempe Center for the Arts highlights the influences of comic books, television, movies and science fiction. "American Pop: Comic Books to Science Fiction...and Beyond" features displays of vintage super heroes, science fiction memorabilia and original artwork. Gallery coordinator Michelle Dock will share interesting pieces that demonstrate the powerful effects that science fiction and popular culture have on our everyday lives. Veterans' Portraits They are called The Greatest Generation; the thousands of men and women who served in World War Two. More than a thousand of them are dying each day and it is crucial to capture their stories. A senior living facility has created an exhibit dedicated to these brave men and women. We take a closer look at the exhibit, the photographer and the veterans themselves.
