“Fall Classic” Opening Reception

Autumn in Tucson arrives not with red leaves, but with fiery October sunsets, golden foothill grasses, clear post-monsoon skies, and that first cool breeze that reminds us the desert is changing seasons. Fall Classic celebrates these unmistakable Southern Arizona moments — from migrating birds circling back through the wetlands to the warm glow that settles over the Catalinas at day’s end artists bring the season to life through rich color, texture, and mood: earthy pottery, sunlit landscapes, warm mixed media, and glass and fiber pieces inspired by orchard harvests, fall festivals, and Tucson’s vibrant October traditions ’s the Southwestern autumn we know and love — soft light, warm tones, and the quiet beauty of fall in the desert.
